BALTIMORE — After their first losing season in six years, the Ravens won’t have to wait long to see where they stand among the NFL’s elite.
Early-October home games against the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals and a late-October road matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers highlight the Ravens’ 2022 schedule, announced Thursday, which features at least three prime-time games and another intriguing divisional slate.
The Ravens, looking to rebound from an injury-marred 8-9 season and their first playoff absence since 2017, will play five last-place finishers and seven games against five teams coming off postseason appearances. The Ravens’ overall strength of schedule, as determined by their opponents’ combined 2021 records, is 10th easiest in the NFL, helped by their own last-place finish in the AFC North last season.
