OTL: A Must-Win Already?

Call it an overreaction, but the Ravens upcoming schedule suggests Sunday’s contest could be deemed a must-win. Following yet another fourth-quarter collapse Sunday night, after holding a 15-point lead, Baltimore finds themselves 0-1 to kick off the 2025 season. Most 0-1 teams can keep the “we’ve got time” mindset for a bit, but Baltimore begins the year with a gauntlet of teams through the first six weeks of the season. Other than the Browns on Sunday, the Ravens will battle a 2024 playoff team in four out of their next five games. Falling behind in what should be a cut-throat AFC can’t happen if the Ravens expect to make a deep playoff run.
