Ravens open season on road in Denver
NFL released regular season schedule Tuesday night
The Baltimore Ravens kick off the 2015 season playing five of their first seven games on the road. This seven-game stretch includes two back-to-back far-west trips and four battles against 2014 playoff teams.
As they did in 2013 following their Super Bowl XLVII campaign, the Ravens open at Denver by facing Peyton Manning and the Broncos (Sept. 13). The following week, Baltimore travels to Oakland for a Sept. 20 game.
The Ravens’ home opener takes place in Week 3 at M&T Bank Stadium when they host Cincinnati (Sept. 27). (Three of Baltimore’s last four home openers have been scheduled against Cincy, with the Ravens winning eight of their last nine overall home-opening contests.)
As part of five nationally-televised primetime games – including three on the road – the Ravens first visit Pittsburgh in a “short week” for a Thursday night special (Oct. 1). Following that game, the Ravens host Cleveland on Oct. 11, capping a stretch that features three-straight divisional battles.
Twice during the 2015 campaign, the Ravens will play Monday night road games, the first on Oct. 26 at Arizona and the second on Nov. 30 at Cleveland. After that Browns game, Baltimore travels to Miami the following Sunday (Dec. 6), while the Arizona game is preceded by a trip to San Francisco on Oct. 18.
Six of the Ravens’ last nine games will be played at M&T Bank Stadium, including three-consecutive contests to close out December (12/13 vs. Seattle, 12/20 vs. Kansas City and 12/27 vs. Pittsburgh). The Steelers and Seahawks games are currently scheduled as primetime Sunday night matchups.
Prior to their Week 9 bye (Nov. 8), the Ravens face San Diego in Baltimore on Nov. 1. They then play two more home games when they host Jacksonville (Nov. 15) and St. Louis (Nov. 22).
On Jan. 3, 2016, the Ravens close out the regular season at Cincinnati for the fourth time in five years.
