The Baltimore Ravens and the New York Jets will face off at 1 p.m. ET Sept. 11 at MetLife Stadium to kick off their 2022 seasons. Baltimore struggled last year, ending up 8-9. Likewise, coming off of an uninspired 4-13 last-season record, New York has set their aspirations higher this season.
A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Ravens were the best in rushing yards allowed per game, finishing the 2021 season giving up only 84.5 on average. Less enviably, New York ranked worst with respect to touchdowns allowed last season, where the squad gave up 56. The good news for New York, of course, is that these forces working against them might not carry over into the new season.
Baltimore has the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency. A victory is hardly a sure thing, especially this early in the season, so expect a good game.
