While the Ravens will certainly enjoy the extra rest, the team plans to get the most out of the extended time.

After practicing at the Under Armour Performance Center on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the Ravens will also have a closed practice on Saturday afternoon at M&T Bank Stadium. After cruising to a 13-4 record, Baltimore wants to keep its rhythm. 

Quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has a 1-3 playoff record, is prepping for his first postseason game since 2020.

“Just getting better," Jackson said. "We had a couple days off but just getting back in the swing of things, just staying loose you, staying prepared for the game next week. that's all, just staying focused on that small things clean up details and stuff like that.”

The Ravens have four possible Divisional Round opponents to keep an eye on this weekend: the Texans (No. 4), Browns (No. 5), Dolphins (No. 6), and Steelers (No. 7). 

Baltimore will face the lowest-seeded of those teams that snag a playoff victory. Here are the important details for the matchups:
