Shortest trips by NFL teams in 2022

#3 - Baltimore Ravens - 9,500 miles

The Baltimore Ravens will play all of their non-divisional road games in the Eastern Time Zone during the 2022 season. Traveling all over the place can be a grind for many teams, so this is a luxury and a bit of an advantage for the Ravens.

The Ravens will go on the road six times for non-divisional games and are split evenly between the northeast and southeast. Their three opponents in the north include the New England Patriots, New York Jets and New York Giants, while their southern slate includes the New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jacksonville Jaguars.

#2 - Detroit Lions - 8,348 miles

One of the positives ahead of the 2022 NFL season for the Detroit Lions is their light travel schedule. They only have one road trip that exceeds 1,000 miles one way, when they travel to Dallas.

The rest of the Lions' road schedule will all take place in the eastern part of the country. They will make trips to take on the Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, New York Jets and New York Giants.

#1 - Pittsburgh Steelers - 6,442 miles

While the Pittsburgh Steelers have more road games than home games during the 2022 NFL season, they are still the team who will travel the least linear mileage this year due to their road schedule. The locations are fairly scattered around, but the total distance remains small.

The Steelers will travel west of home just once when they face off against the Indianapolis Colts. The rest of the road schedule in the East includes match-ups with the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers.
