Ravens schedule: Ranking the 14 quarterbacks Baltimore will face in 2025
Ravens schedule: Ranking the 14 quarterbacks Baltimore will face in 2025 Baltimore has a loaded slate of games in 2025 and we're ranking the 14 quarterbacks on the Ravens schedule
The Ravens' first-place finish in the AFC North will give John Harbaugh's team an even more demanding schedule in 2025. The slate of games will be one of the league's most challenging. They will face the gauntlet of juggernauts in the NFC North and AFC East and the division winners in the AFC West, NFC West, and AFC South.
Baltimore's 2025 schedule is loaded, and we're ranking the 14 quarterbacks the Ravens will face.
1. Patrick Mahomes: Chiefs
Last season, after sitting out one game, Mahomes failed to top 4,000 passing yards for the first time in his career while matching his seven-year low of 26 passing touchdowns (set in a season when he played just 14 games). His supporting cast needs to produce, but he's still the top guy.
2. Josh Allen: Bills
In the closest race since Matt Ryan beat out Tom Brady in 2016, Josh Allen secured more votes than Baltimore Ravens' two-time winner Lamar Jackson for the Most Valuable Player award.
3. Joe Burrow: Bengals
Despite battling lingering injuries, Burrow had an MVP-like 2024 season with a 71 percent completion rate (460 of 652 attempts), 4,918 passing yards, and a 43:9 TD: INT ratio.
4. Matthew Stafford: Rams
Stafford had a passer rating of 93.7 with 3,762 yards, 20 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 16 games in 2024.
5. C.J. Stroud: Texans
Stroud completed 19 of 28 passes for 245 yards without a touchdown or an interception in Houston's 23-14 divisional-round loss to Kansas City. Last season, Stroud completed 63.2 percent of his passes for 3,727 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.
6. Tua Tagovailoa
Tagovailoa has a passer rating of 101.2 with 7491 yards, 48 touchdowns, and 21 interceptions in 28 games since 2023, but he's been unable to get Miami over the playoffs hump.
7. Jared Goff: Lions
Goff had a passer rating of 111.8 with 4,629 yards, 37 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions in 17 games in 2024. He was selected to play in his fourth Pro Bowl.
8. Jordan Love: Packers
Love will enter the offseason looking to get healthy after enduring a 2024 season with upper- and lower-body injuries. Last season, Love threw for 3,389 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions, with a 63.1% completion rate. He also rushed 25 times for 83 yards and one touchdown.
9. Drake Maye Patriots
As a rookie, Maye logged 2,276 passing yards (175.1 per game) with a 66.6% completion percentage (225-of-338), while throwing for 15 touchdowns with 10 interceptions. In addition, he picked up 421 rushing yards on 54 carries with two touchdowns, averaging 32.4 yards per game. New England added more weapons, and Will Campbell was drafted along the offensive line.
10. Caleb Williams: Bears
The No. 1 overall pick in 2024, Williams threw for 3,541 yards passing and 20 touchdowns, six interceptions, while also rushing for 489 yards. That made Williams one of only four rookies in NFL history to amass 4,000 or more total yards with fewer than 10 interceptions. Williams was sacked an NFL-most 68 times, which is tied for the third-highest total in a single season ever.
11. Justin Fields: Jets
Fields went 4-2 as a starter last season in place of the injured Russell Wilson with the Pittsburgh Steelers and will be the starting quarterback again, this time in New York, with the Jets following the departure of Aaron Rodgers.
12. J.J. McCarthy: Vikings
The former No. 10 overall pick will replace Sam Darnold in 2025, and there will be high expectations after Minnesota went 14-3 last season. McCarthy flashed potential in his one preseason game last year, completing 64.7% of his passes for 188 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception before it was revealed that the quarterback suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee. McCarthy was shut down for his entire rookie season.
13. Joe Flacco: Browns
Flacco returns to Cleveland, where he won the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year award in 2023. Flacco joins a quarterback room with Deshaun Watson, who is rehabbing after retearing his right Achilles tendon and could miss most of the 2025 season, and Kenny Pickett, who was traded to Cleveland from Philadelphia. The Browns added Dillion Gabriel (third round) and Shedeur Sanders (5th-round) in the draft.
14. Mason Rudolph: Steelers
Pittsburgh would still potentially be this low if they had Aaron Rodgers on the roster. Rudolph is the current starter, appearing in 29 career games, with 18 starts. He has completed 437 of 686 passes, 63.7%, for 4,615 yards and 28 touchdowns.
In 2024, he appeared in eight games for the Titans, starting five. He completed 146 of 228 passes, 64%, for 1,530 yards and nine touchdowns in his one season in Tennessee. With the Steelers, he started 13 of 21 games, completing 291 of 458 passes, 63.5%, for 3,085 yards and 19 touchdowns.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Offensive Duo Named in NFL's Top 5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Offensive Duo Named in NFL's Top 5 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers boast an incredible offensive duo that has already shown to be one of the best pairings in the NFL in just two short seasons together. Advertisement Quarterback Baker Mayfield arrived in Tampa Bay in 2023 after being tossed aside by the likes of Cleveland and Carolina and proceeded to make his first two Pro Bowl appearances of his career. When he joined the Bucs and wideout Mike Evans, magic happened. That's why Pro Football Focus ranked the pair in the top five of offensive duos in the NFL. 5. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: BAKER MAYFIELD & MIKE EVANS "Mayfield and Evans both ranked near the top 10 of their respective position rankings heading into the season, with Evans at No. 9 and Mayfield coming at No. 13. Since Mayfield arrived in Tampa Bay in 2023, his 22 big-time throws when targeting Evans are tied for the second most among duos in these rankings, behind only Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill (28). Mayfield-to-Evans has also produced 2,259 yards over the past two years, which ranks third on this list." Advertisement Mayfield and Evans rank behind, 4. Washington's Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin, 3. Houston's C.J. Stroud and Nico Collins, 2. Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown and 1. Cincinnati's Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase. Since Mayfield arrived in Tampa Bay in 2023, he's made his first two career Pro Bowls and had back-to-back career passing seasons. Evans continued his now-record-tying streak of 11 straight 1,000-yard seasons with Mayfield throwing him the ball the past two years, and has a chance to stand alone at the top if he can post his 12th in 2025.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield Labeled as NFL's 'Most Underpaid'
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield Labeled as NFL's 'Most Underpaid' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jason Licht signed journeyman veteran quarterback Baker Mayfield to a one-year "prove-it" deal in 2023 after the retirement of legendary signal caller Tom Brady. Advertisement And "prove it" he did. Mayfield made just $4 million in his first season in Tampa Bay, posting a 64.3 completion percentage with a career-high 4,044 yards and career-best 28 touchdowns to just 10 interceptions. He made his first Pro Bowl and finished third in NFL Comeback Player of the Year voting. The 9-8 record and fourth straight playoff appearance, including a third consecutive division title for the Bucs, earned Mayfield a three-year, $100 million deal from Licht. In his first year under his new contract, he posted career highs again with 4,500. yards and 41 touchdowns while completing a career-best 71.4 percent of his passes. Advertisement That's got Mayfield as an honorable mention of sorts on players who most deserve a raise in 2025. "I didn't want to include Mayfield in The Official List of 10 above, because there are no signs as of now that he will actually get a raise just one year after inking his current contract," wrote. "But I did want to squeeze in a little discussion of him here, because he undoubtedly should make more than $33.33 million per year, which puts him below Sam Darnold, Geno Smith and Kirk Cousins on the contracts table. And, yes, that APY is roughly $20 million per year less than what Tua Tagovailoa, Jared Goff and Brock Purdy are receiving. In 2024, Mayfield was one of three QBs (joining Goff and Joe Burrow) to throw for 4,500-plus yards, while his 41 TD passes tied him for the second-most in the NFL (with Jackson, behind Burrow's 43). "Whatever you think about QB pay -- to me, every player above Mayfield absolutely deserves every penny of what the market will bear -- Mayfield's current pact stands out as a jaw-dropping discount for the Bucs."
