Despite facing the 30th most difficult strength of schedule in 2017, the Baltimore Ravens failed to snap their growing postseason drought. They had a golden opportunity last season, facing eight teams led by backup caliber quarterbacks. Unfortunately, the 2018 schedule appears much more daunting.
As always, the Ravens will face each of their divisional opponents both home and away. Pittsburgh shows no signs of regression and have shifted momentum in the rivalry during recent games. Cincinnati has given the Ravens plenty of trouble since 2103. And Cleveland could improve if they use their abundance of assets wisely.
