The 2025 NFL season is set to officially begin on Thursday night, but the Baltimore Ravens will have to wait until Sunday to play their first game.
On Sunday, the Ravens will face off against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football. Right off the bat, Baltimore will be matching up against one of the top Super Bowl contenders in the NFL. It's a game that should provide a lot of entertainment.
While the season is just beginning and no game can make or break a season, the Ravens have received a stern warning from one former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst.

Dan Orlovsky made an appearance on "Get Up" and stated clearly that Baltimore is facing the most pressure out of any NFL team.
"There is no organization and no team under more pressure than the Baltimore Ravens," Orlovsky said.
Truthfully, he's not wrong. The Ravens have been right on track to win a Super Bowl over the last couple of years, but simply have not been able to get the job done in the playoffs. Baltimore needs to figure out how to make the final step.
Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry form one of the most feared offensive duos in the league. Around those two players, the Ravens have added a lot of talent. Defensively, the team should be a very good group.
John Harbaugh has one of the best rosters in the league. Now, it's time to turn that talent into playoff wins and a Super Bowl run.
That is clearly easier said than done. Looking around the league, there are a lot of teams who pose threats to Baltimore. However, this is a season the Ravens are expected to win big.

Another season going by without a Super Bowl appearance at a minimum would be crushing. Could that even result in the franchise deciding to make some major changes? It's a legitimate possibility.
Only time will tell what the future holds for Baltimore. Orlovsky believes the team is facing more pressure than any other. Hopefully, the Ravens are able to handle that pressure and put together a special season that results in a championship.
