The Baltimore Ravens are gearing up for another grueling 2026 campaign, and if history is any guide, the path to the postseason will be anything but easy. From a historic international showdown in Rio de Janeiro to the usual slugfests within the AFC North, the Ravens' schedule is packed with playoff-caliber teams. But how has Baltimore fared against these opponents in the past? Let's break down the all-time series records, including playoffs.
AFC North Battles
The Ravens own a winning record against two of their three division rivals. Baltimore leads the Cincinnati Bengals 33-28 and has dominated the Cleveland Browns with a 39-15 mark. The Pittsburgh Steelers, however, hold a 37-28 edge in one of the NFL's fiercest rivalries. These divisional matchups will once again define Baltimore's season, as every game in the AFC North is a physical war.
AFC South Showdowns
The Ravens have a mixed history with their AFC South opponents. Baltimore leads the Tennessee Titans 14-13, a rivalry that has produced some of the most emotional playoff moments in franchise history. Against the Indianapolis Colts (11-7) and Jacksonville Jaguars (13-11), the Ravens trail in the all-time series, but these games often serve as key measuring sticks for Baltimore's postseason aspirations.
NFC South Challenges
Baltimore has generally handled NFC South competition well. The Ravens lead the New Orleans Saints 6-2 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-2, while the Carolina Panthers hold a narrow 4-3 advantage. These interconference matchups provide a chance for the Ravens to build momentum against teams they don't face every year.
Other Key Matchups
The Ravens hold a 10-6 edge over the Los Angeles Chargers, another recurring postseason-caliber opponent. The Dallas Cowboys matchup, set to take place in Brazil in Week 3, carries massive national appeal and will be a true test of Baltimore's mettle on an international stage.
While the Ravens boast winning all-time records against most of their 2026 opponents, history offers no guarantees. With a schedule this loaded, every game will be a battle. But for Ravens fans, that's exactly what makes football season so exciting.
