Team Overview
The Baltimore Ravens enter the 2025 season as the projected leaders of the AFC North, making a run at their third consecutive division title. They finalized their 53-man roster—with 25 offensive players, 25 defensive players, and three specialists—demonstrating solid roster continuity and depth.
Key offseason moves include the re-signing of Pro Bowler LT Ronnie Stanley to a three-year, $60 million deal. Additionally, the team reinforced its edge rusher and offensive tackle depth by drafting EDGE Mike Green and OT Emery Jones Jr.
Offensive Line Analysis
The Ravens’ offensive line boasts exceptional continuity, returning most of its core unit, excluding left guard Patrick Mekari. It’s ranked among the NFL’s strongest, positioned at #7 in one expert’s 2025 OL rankings.
A projected Week 1 starting five includes LT Ronnie Stanley, LG Andrew Vorhess, C Tyler Linderbaum, RG Daniel Faalele, and RT Roger Rosergarten. Stanley, in particular, anchors the unit with experience and Pro Bowl talent. Additionally, the unit shows strong value, with the “over” on their win total (12+ games) favored, suggesting confidence in both O-line and Team continuity.
Defensive Line Analysis
The Ravens bolstered their defense by drafting edge rusher Mike Green, a prolific 2024 producer with 17 sacks, generating excitement tempered by noted off-field concerns.
While in-depth positional stars are limited, Green’s addition alongside existing defensive line strengths positions Baltimore to maintain or enhance its pressure game in 2025.
2025 NFL Season
Week 2 Preview
Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns: Sunday, September 14 at 1:00 pm ET, 12:00 pm CST, 11:00 am MT, and 10:00 am PT.
Despite each team’s Week 1 Losses, the Ravens are still heavy favorites over the Browns as Joe Flacco returns to face his former team.
The Ravens’ offensive firepower, led by Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, remains a potent threat. DeAndre Hopkins made an electrifying one-handed TD in his debut, and his chemistry is starting to add a dynamic layer.
However, the defense must tighten up, especially in the fourth quarter, after giving up 16 fourth-quarter points to Josh Allen.
Cleveland is far from a pushover, but their inconsistencies—especially in kicking and pass protection—could be exploited by a Ravens squad hungry to bounce back at home.
Week 1 Roundup
The Ravens fell to the Buffalo Bills 41-40 in a heart-stopping season opener. Despite leading by 15 points in the fourth quarter, the Ravens couldn’t hold on. A Late Derrick Henry fumble, followed by three-and-outs on offense, paved the way for Matt Prater’s 32-yard game-winning field goal as time expired.
Baltimore’s defense was on the field for 85 snaps, with starters like Roquan Smith, Marlon Humphrey, Kyle Hamilton, and rookies Nate Wiggings and Malaki Starks seeing heavy usage.
