The Baltimore Ravens received a rare piece of favorable news regarding their 2025 NFL schedule, despite lingering frustrations over limited primetime appearances. With four nationally televised games, the team is set to showcase their talent in key matchups, though fans and analysts argue it falls short for a team led by a two-time MVP like Lamar Jackson.
The season opens with a high-stakes Sunday Night Football rematch against the Buffalo Bills, a team Baltimore faced in last year’s Divisional Round. This game sets the tone for a challenging schedule, as the team navigates a slate filled with playoff-caliber opponents. Notably, they will host the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football in Week 3, providing another opportunity to shine under the national spotlight.

While Baltimore’s Thanksgiving Day game against the Cincinnati Bengals adds excitement, some glaring omissions leave fans puzzled. A highly anticipated showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs was not scheduled for primetime, a decision that surprised many given the star power on both sides. Critics point out that Baltimore’s 19-5 primetime record under Jackson underscores their ability to entertain and deliver victories on the national stage.
Baltimore’s schedule also features daunting stretches, including matchups against the Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins. Despite the challenges, Jackson’s proven success on big stages offers hope for fans eager to see their team thrive. His dynamic playmaking and the team’s resilience could elevate Baltimore’s profile throughout the season.
