The Baltimore Ravens will open up the 2025 season on the road against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night in a rematch of their divisional round playoff game from January.
The Bills escaped with a 27-25 victory to advance to the AFC Championship Game – only to lose to the Kansas City Chiefs, which seems to be the theme for AFC teams over the last five years.
Ravens offensive lineman Ronnie Stanley, a two-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro selection, expressed just how important the matchup against the Bills is.
“That team sent us home out of the playoffs, so I don’t think it’s just (like) going into a normal game, per se. We’re very unhappy with the result last time we were there, and a lot of us will give anything to leave there with a ‘W,’” he told reporters.
In the Ravens’ loss to the Bills, tight end Mark Andrews took the brunt of the criticism for two crucial mistakes. He had a fourth-quarter fumble that resulted in a Bills field goal and dropped a pass on a two-point conversion.

Stanley said he knew Andrews wasn’t going to let a bad game affect him too much.
“Every game is going to be important to (Mark Andrews). I know the type of competitor Mark is, and he’s not going to let one moment (or) one bad thing (that) happen to set him back. He’s a true warrior,” he said. “He’s going to push forward through those moments, and I know he’s excited to prove (to) himself and everyone else that he’s still that guy.”
The Ravens were 12-5 last season and won the AFC North.
