Ravens’ home opener takes a turn as division rivalry intensifies
Cleveland Browns v Baltimore Ravens | Greg Fiume/GettyImagesIn Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season, the Baltimore Ravens will play their home opener against the Cleveland Browns. For many, they'll look at this game as the best in the AFC North, facing a team expected to finish last in the division, and think nothing of it.

Still, this matchup is intriguing because it offers an early chance to see how the Ravens handle divisional expectations.
