The Ravens schedule this year is noticeably easier than their 2015 slate.
Just a quick reminder in case you forgot how brutal the start of last year was: back-to-back west coast games in Week 1 & Week 2, including opening against the eventual Super Bowl champions.
Week 3 & Week 4 against eventual playoff teams Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, followed by two more back-to-back west coast games against the Cardinals and 49ers. It proved to be too much for an injury depleted team and a 1-6 start was the result.
This year’s schedule certainly has its challenges, but the Ravens are presented with a prime opportunity to get off to a fast start.
