The NFL season is often referred to as “a marathon, not a sprint” by the vast majority of coaches. That’s especially true for Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, who likes to break the season down in quarters. With the 2024 schedule officially released for all 32 teams, they know exactly when some of their biggest matchups of the year will be and can now plan accordingly.
Each quarter of the season typically has a game or two which can prove to be pivotal. At least one matchup has a significant impact on potential playoff implications down the road as well as on current momentum.
