The Baltimore Ravens 2017 schedule is official. Here’s a full schedule for them.

After missing the playoffs for the third time in four seasons since winning the Super Bowl, the Baltimore Ravens could be having one final stand in 2017. Missing the postseason in three consecutive seasons could cause a huge shakeup in Baltimore. Head coach John Harbaugh and general manager Ozzie Newsome are officially on notice. They realize this, as the Ravens have been uncharacteristically aggressive in the offseason.

Baltimore has addressed their defense. They re-signed defensive tackle Brandon Williams to a huge extension. Moreover, Tony Jefferson is now patrolling the Ravens secondary. He joins Erik Weddle to form what might be the best safety duo in the NFL. Ladarius Webb got cut but re-signed at a cheaper price.

Joe Flacco will hopefully be 100 percent healthy this year. Without Steve Smith Sr., Baltimore will have to redefine their offense. The Ravens are banking on Mike Wallace and Breshad Perriman to improve and help replace him. Baltimore is gunning for what might their last shot at a Super Bowl for a while.

The Ravens’ schedule has been released. Here’s a full rundown, per NFL.com:
