The Baltimore Ravens schedule has been released. Here are 3 big things:
1. You want Drama? The Ravens close the regular season with a home game against the Steelers:
The Baltimore Ravens are no stranger to drama at the end of the season but this could be another level of it. After a week 16 battle in Cleveland the Ravens face the Steelers in the regular season finale. The Ravens-Steelers games on the schedule break a couple of norms of recent years. Normally the Ravens have a Sunday Night Football game with the Steelers, typically in Pittsburgh. Both games are at 1:00 pm this year. Secondly, the Ravens typically ended the season against one of their foes from Ohio. This year the arch rival is featured in the finale.
If the Ravens prove to be a playoff caliber team, the last two games of the season could be playoff games. This is the most dramatic way the schedule could be laid out. Think about it. It could be a win and get in game for both Baltimore and Pittsburgh. The season will either end on a high that can’t be matched or a low that stings for an entire offseason (and years after). The Ravens fans know there is nothing more intense and nerve multiplying than trying to stop Ben Roethlisberger with just moments left in the game.

The good news for the Ravens is that the game that could end up being an AFC North Championship game is going to be in Baltimore. It’s the Ravens and the Steelers, so get ready for a heavyweight fight regardless of the teams records.
