After back-to-back years on the road for Christmas, the Ravens will stay home for the Holidays in 2025.
The Ravens will host the AFC North rival Cincinnati Bengals for Thanksgiving at M&T Bank Stadium on Thursday, Nov. 27 at 8:20 p.m. ET.
The game will be nationally televised on NBC. It's one of just four primetime games the Ravens are currently slated for, a stark decrease from last year's seven primetime contests.
It's the Ravens' first time playing on Thanksgiving since 2013, when they defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the game when Head Coach Mike Tomlin stepped onto the field in front of Jacoby Jones.
Baltimore also won a 2011 Thanksgiving matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in the first battle between the Harbaugh brothers. The Ravens were supposed to play the Steelers on Thanksgiving 2020, but the game was postponed multiple times due to a COVID outbreak.
The Ravens and Bengals have played intense high-scoring games in recent seasons. Last year, Baltimore won 41-38 in Cincinnati, highlighted by Lamar Jackson's miraculous "Rag Doll" touchdown. The Ravens followed it up with a 35-34 win at M&T Bank Stadium when they stopped the Bengals on a two-point conversion at the end.
The Ravens have won the last four meetings against the Bengals, who narrowly missed last year's playoffs and are once again expected to challenge Baltimore for the division title the Ravens have claimed in back-to-back years.
The Lamar Jackson-Joe Burrow matchup continues to be one of the NFL's best, and there are plenty of other premier playmakers for viewers to feast their eyes on.
