Coming into the 2010 Baltimore Ravens Schedule, the purple and black look to finish what they started last season and it all begins with taking the division title away from the Bengals. You see, the Ravens did not win the AFC North division last season, but they were able to navigate their way to a 9-7 record which was good enough to gain a Wild Card berth into the 2009 NFL playoffs. The Ravens slashed the New England Patriots in the first game of the postseason, before losing to the Indianapolis Colts in the divisional round.
The Raven fell short of their ultimate goal, and come into 2010 with the goal of making it further into the playoffs this season.
What has become a custom is in the NFL, is the Raven defense, always in the top half of important defensive statistical categories, surrendering only 16 points per game during the 2009 regular season.
QB Joe Flacco and RB Ray Rice have given the Ravens a spark on offense in the recent years, as the young explosive players give the potential for big plays that the other teams now must account for.
The outlook of the 2010 Baltimore Ravens Season Schedule has some interesting and potentially difficult games on the horizon, as the AFC North plays the NFC South this year. Included in the NFC South are the defending Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints. The Ravens will also face the New England Patriots and the New York Jets, among the teams that made the 2009-10 NFL playoffs.
