Baltimore Ravens Schedule Breakdown
By Joe Serpico
Week 7: New York Jets – Oct. 23, 2016 (1:00 p.m.)
2015 Record: 10-6
Head-to-Head Record: 8-1
Last Meeting: Ravens 19 – Jets 3 (Nov. 24, 2013)
It will be interesting to see whether John Harbaugh has the team stay in New Jersey/New York for the back-to-back games or make the trip back and forth from Baltimore. That might seem irrelevant, but this will be an important game for the Ravens as it’s the last game before the team heads into the bye week. They want to keep the injuries to a minimum.
The Jets won the first game between the two franchises, but Baltimore has won the last eight, mostly in convincing fashion. If the Jets do not bring back Ryan Fitzpatrick and are forced to start Geno Smith or Bryce Petty against the Ravens, there is another beat down coming.
Todd Bowles has the Jets on the right path, but who he has at quarterback will have a lot to say about how this game plays out. Leaving the Meadowlands with two wins would be huge with back-to-back divisional games due up after the bye.
