The Baltimore Ravens start the 2025 season with a road game against the Buffalo Bills. While the Week 1 matchup is just the first game in the marathon of a season that Baltimore is hoping ends in February, the game is being billed as a high-stakes meeting between two of the league’s best teams. Taking place on the first Sunday Night Football of the season, this divisional round rematch will have the eyes of the entire NFL world fixated on it.
The players, however, aren’t feeding into any of these narratives. For them, it’s an opportunity to get the season started the right way, and that would be the case regardless of opponent.
