The Baltimore Ravens announced the team’s 2021 preseason schedule on Friday, with three NFC matchups headlining the August games.

Baltimore will take on the New Orleans Saints at home on August 14 before traveling to Carolina on August 21 to face the Panthers. The Ravens then wrap up the three-game slate at FedExField against the Washington Football Team, a yearly matchup in the preseason.

This will be the first preseason action for the Ravens, and every other team, since 2019 as the 2020 preseason was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the league has opted to shorten the preseason by one game as it added a 17th game to the regular season campaign.

Following these three matchups, the Ravens will jump right into primetime with a Week 1 matchup in Las Vegas against the Raiders on Monday Night Football.

They play em, I write about em … The highly dismissible third preseason game breakdown. Hang a banner? The Washington Football Team may have finished 1-2 after getting roasted 37-3 by the Baltimore Ravens, but they own the best record in the NFC East this August, their first Preseason "title" since the 2013 team went 4-0 before going 3-13 in the regular season. Before we look too much into this team's highs and lows of the last three weeks, let's remind ourselves that it's only August and many of the players who were on the field last Saturday will not be on the 53-man roster come Week One. But there's enough out there to make one suspicious in September.
