The Ravens were largely overlooked this summer.
Yes, many pundits thought Baltimore would be a playoff team, perhaps even one which could challenge for the AFC North. But few saw the Ravens as a top-level contender who could fight with the Chiefs (7–3) for AFC supremacy.
At 8–3, no team has more wins in the conference than Baltimore. The Ravens are a legitimate threat to earn home-field advantage for the first time since 2019, when Lamar Jackson earned unanimous MVP honors and led Baltimore to a 14–2 record.
