Who do the Ravens play next? Baltimore's NFL Divisional Round schedule explained

The Baltimore Ravens will be antsy to get their NFL playoffs underway this season and will play the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional Round.

John Harbaugh's Baltimore finished as the No. 1 seed in the AFC, posting a 13-4 record. It gave the Ravens an extra week's rest and automatic qualification into the Divisional Round since they didn't have to play in the Wild Card round.

Moreover, Lamar Jackson and Co. will have home-field advantage in the divisional playoff round. This means the Ravens will play their upcoming NFL playoff game at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland.

The Ravens-Texans game will take place on Saturday, Jan. 20, with kickoff at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Exploring potential opponents for Baltimore Ravens in NFL Divisional Playoff Round

Since the Baltimore Ravens finished as the best team in the AFC this season, they automatically drew the lowest remaining seed in the conference for the Divisional Round.

Kansas City defeated the Miami Dolphins in the Wild Card round while the Buffalo Bills took down the Pittsburgh Steelers in their matchup. The Chiefs are currently the third-highest-seeded team in the AFC after the Ravens and the Bills, which ruled them out for facing Baltimore in their next game.

Notably, the No. 4 seeded Houston Texans beat the Cleveland Browns in the first round of the playoffs. The Texans are the lowest-seeded team in the Conference after the Wild Card round and will now face the Ravens in the Divisional Round.
