The Baltimore Ravens lost disappointingly to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game last season. They will be looking to bounce back in 2024, and to do that, it’d be in their best interest to start fast and make a statement early in the year.
When looking at teams that could have a disastrous start to the 2024 season, Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report named the Ravens one of his choices. He mentioned some of the youth on the team’s roster, particularly on the offensive line, as a reason why.
“Figuring out who will take over those three starting spots and then figuring out how to maximize their talents within the scheme could take some time…Throw in a defense that will have to navigate the switch from Mike Macdonald to Zach Orr at defensive coordinator and the Ravens could have some growing pains early on in the season.”
The Ravens open the season with Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium, which is no easy task. They then play the Las Vegas Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, and Cincinnati Bengals, and their record in those first five games could set a tone for the remainder of the season.
