2021 Baltimore Ravens Opponents
Baltimore's 2021 opponents were finalized – pending the approval of a 17th regular-season game – with the conclusion of the regular season. As always, the Ravens will face each of their divisional opponents twice, the entire AFC West and the entire NFC North. The two opponents finalized Sunday were the other two AFC teams that are based on division standings from the previous year.
Finishing in second place in the AFC North, the Ravens will take on the second-place teams in the AFC East (Miami Dolphins) and AFC South (Indianapolis Colts).
Take a look below to see who the Ravens’ 2021 opponents are and which games will happen at M&T Bank Stadium and where they’ll be traveling to.

What could change this is if NFL owners approve the addition of a 17th regular-season game next season, which appears likely. Owners already agreed on the scheduling procedures for that game.
The 17th regular-season game will "be an inter-conference match-up based on divisional standings" from the previous campaign, and "on a rotating divisional basis." In that case, the Ravens would, reportedly, face the Los Angeles Rams.
11 Players to Reserve/Future Deals
The Ravens signed 11 players to reserve/future deals Monday, giving them a chance to work with the team this offseason, according to Baltimore Ravens' official website.
Here are the 11 players:
LB Aaron Adeoye
DT Aaron Crawford
DT Braxton Hoyett
QB Tyler Huntley
WR Jaylon Moore
LS Nick Moore
DE Chauncey Rivers
DB Nigel Warrior
DB Chris Westry
RB Ty'Son Williams
TE Eli Wolf
Many of the players are undrafted rookies, including Huntley, who played a large role at the end of the season as Lamar Jackson's backup.
Huntley saw action in three games, including playing the fourth quarter of the Ravens' playoff loss in Buffalo. Especially given the difficult circumstances, Huntley performed quite well, going 6-of-13 for 60 yards and running three times for 32 yards.
Who is Raven's biggest rival?
Taking to the face-off between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8, Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell said: “There’s no bigger rivalry in professional sports — in my opinion — than this matchup,” “As a football fan, I’ve watched it from afar for plenty of years and I’m happy to finally be in it.”, he said.
While Campbell already knows about and respects this rivalry, he’ll get his first taste of what it actually means on the football field. Campbell said Matthew Judon, Pernell McPhee, Jimmy Smith, and Brandon Williams have been telling him about the seriousness of this rivalry leading up to this game. Fans of both teams can easily recall moments where the rivalry went from fun and games to serious business, both on and off the field.
Since 2008 when John Harbaugh took over as coach of the Ravens, Baltimore has gone 14-13 against Pittsburgh. Though they swept the Steelers last season, this is a rivalry where records absolutely don’t matter. Each time these two teams get on the field, you’re going to see the best from both squads and it’s almost always going to be a close contest.
The Ravens brought in Campbell for exactly these types of weeks — looking to shore up their run defense and add more interior pass rush. Baltimore is hoping Campbell can help tip things in their favor once again this week after putting together a three-sack effort in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Time will tell how Campbell’s first foray into the Ravens-Steelers rivalry will go but big players show up in big games and for Baltimore, there are few opponents bigger than Pittsburgh every season.
