The Baltimore Ravens have a very tough schedule for the 2024-25 season.
Baltimore has the second-most difficult schedule in the NFL this season and will play an NFL-high 10 games against teams that went to the playoffs last year.
The Ravens’ 2024 opponents had a collective record of 155-134 last season – a .536 win percentage. The playoff teams Baltimore will face are the Cleveland Browns (twice), Pittsburgh Steelers (twice), Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Also don’t forget, they still play Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals two times, who’ve made multiple AFC Championships, and a Super Bowl in the last few years.
Baltimore’s schedule is so challenging because the AFC North was the best division in the NFL last year, the Ravens will face the other first-place finishers in the AFC and Baltimore faces two other divisions that were relatively strong last year in the AFC West and NFC East.
Only the Cleveland Browns face a more daunting schedule than the Ravens. The Ravens’ biggest rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers, comes in with the third-hardest schedule on paper.
Baltimore Ravens Coach John Harbaugh Reacts to Daunting 2024-25 Schedule
Here’s what Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh had to say about the Ravens’ tough schedule.
“We are always on the short end of those for some crazy reason, especially Monday night. And the Christmas games, for instance, those have gone on the road. Maybe it’s because our guys go play so well and they know they’re going to get a good game. Maybe that’s why. But I do feel like our fans deserve as many of those games as we can get.”
John Harbaugh on playing his brother Jim, who’s now the LA Chargers coach, and some former Ravens now on the Chargers like Jk Dobbins and Gus Edwards, and former OC Greg Roman.
That will definitely be the storyline, I’m sure,” John said. “But it’s such an emotional thing. It runs so much deeper than that in real life, to be honest. It’s so meaningful. We both root for each other. We both have each other’s back all the time and yet we’re competing against each other. And yeah, there is a pride part of it. You do want to win, but not just for you, but for your guys, for the organization, for the standings. There’s so much at stake.”
The Baltimore Ravens have also made some key signings this offseason, like adding Derrick Henry, who will fit perfectly in with two-time MVP Lamar Jackson.
