Baltimore Beatdown
The Baltimore Ravens crushingly finished their season as the second place team in the AFC North which locks in their 2026 opponents.
The NFC has the extra home game in 2026, so there will be eight games in Baltimore and nine games on the road.
As always, the Ravens will play the AFC North teams twice with two games against the Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, and Pittsburgh Steelers
In addition to the normal AFC North gauntlet, the Ravens will play the members of the AFC South who sent two teams to the postseason in 2025. The Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, and Tennessee Titans are on the list.
The NFC South is also on the docket, but they didn’t send more than one team and all of them finished under .500 between the Carolina Panthers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Atlanta Falcons, and New Orleans Saints.
Then the Ravens will play the second-place teams in the AFC West, AFC East, and NFC East. Strap in. That’s the Los Angeles Chargers, Buffalo Bills, and Dallas Cowboys.
The second-place schedule at home isn’t brutal with only eight slots.
The second-place schedule is tougher than the home slate, with nine away games featuring four playoff teams in 2025.
