The last time the Ravens faced this scenario of resting starters was 2019, when Baltimore was the AFC's top seed.
Harbaugh chose to sit Jackson and six other starters in the regular-season finale that year.

 

After that long layoff in 2019, Baltimore looked rusty in a 28-12 upset loss to the Tennessee Titans in the divisional round.

 

The Ravens were held to a season low in points, and Jackson was 31-of-59 (52.5%) for 365 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions.

They're insane if they play him.  Definitely wouldn't let him start the 2nd series.

Yep

 

Start him for the first series, get the home crowd pumped up, and hopefully put up some points before yielding to their backup QB

Huntley is a pretty good backup.

Let's see what they pull outta their ass this weekend. The fix is probably in to have the Steelers win.

That’s a good one…. Scantling already got his. Did you see that crap on Sunday? He dropped a third down pass that would have gotten us a first down… Then motioned as if to say it was ever so slightly behind him. Then followed it up with a 42 yarder that went between his hands. Rice, a rookie has more yards than all the other starters combined at 972. There is going to be a big move at receiver this offseason

If Buffalo wins the division, it will play at the Ravens and at the NFC North winning Lions.

 

If the Bills lose Sunday, they will play at the Browns and at the Packers or Vikings.

I agree it may be a bit early for a 2024 schedule thread. That said, for the most part we don't try to restrict what people post. You do what you like.

I saw this this morning and Schrager lays out why the Ravens will play the Steelers hard. I have to say I agree with his logic and I hope Harbaugh does as well.

I don't doubt they will play hard, but I'd be stunned to see starters go more than the first series.

 

Harbaugh had a front row seat to watch Bradley Chubb tear an ACL while the Fish were down 30 with four minutes on the clock.

I don't disagree too much but I think the rust factor has to weigh in to a degree. Two weeks off before the starters play again might be too long.

Chiefs will rest players
