The Baltimore Ravens are once again poised to be one of the best teams in the NFL, going to war with an MVP in Lamar Jackson, a possible Hall of Fame running back in Derrick Henry, and arguably the most complete defense the league has to offer. They will need to overcome a brutal schedule, however.
More than half of Baltimore's 17 games this season are coming against teams who made the playoffs last season, giving the Ravens the second-hardest schedule in the league. Only the rival Cleveland Browns can claim to have it harder. John Harbaugh is likely not going to be daunted by this.
The schedule is officially released, and the Ravens will need to slug through some serious contenders both at the beginning and right before the postseason starts. Jackson will need to be the best version of himself if the Ravens want to secure another division title.

The Ravens have a brutal schedule early in the campaign. Not only will they have to face off against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs right off the bat, but they will need to take on two more division-winning teams in the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills right after that.
Baltimore will be in primetime quite regularly in 2024, as they will square off against Geno Stone's Bengals and Baker Mayfield's Buccaneers in the middle of the season. The Ravens' rematch against CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans will take place on Christmas Day in a game exclusive to Netflix.
The Ravens will play their division rival Bengals in Weeks 5 and 10, while their games against the Pittsburgh Steelers will take place later in the season during Weeks 11 and 16. Baltimore will tussle with the Cleveland Browns in Week 8 before ending the season on the road in northeast Ohio during Week 18.
