5 NFL teams with the most challenging schedule after Week 11

Most difficult remaining strength of schedules after NFL Week 11

Toughest remaining schedules following Week 11 of the 2021 NFL season.

#3 - Baltimore Ravens (7-3)

Remaining strength of schedule: .603

Remaining opponents: Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams, Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers (twice), Cleveland Browns (twice)

The Baltimore Ravens have five of their six divisional games in the last seven weeks of the season. Their other two games on their remaining schedule are against two of the top teams in the NFC. The Ravens control their own destiny in the AFC North division. If they win their games, they win the division title.

#2 - Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4-1)

Remaining strength of schedule: .630

Remaining opponents: Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens (twice), Kansas City Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Minnesota Vikings

It has been a streaky 2021 NFL season for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They opened the year with a big win over the Buffalo Bills, then followed it with a three-game losing streak, a four-game winning streak and a two-game winless streak. The most difficult part of their schedule is still in front of them, so they will need to step it up if they want to make the playoffs.

#1 - Cleveland Browns (6-5)

Remaining strength of schedule: .631

Remaining opponents: Green Bay Packers, Baltimore Ravens (twice), Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Las Vegas Raiders

Currently, the Cleveland Browns don't own one of seven AFC playoff spots. That means they have work to do if they want to punch their ticket. It won't be easy with the most difficult remaining strength of schedule following Week 11. The good news is that four of their six games are against teams above them in the AFC standings, so they have an opportunity to make up ground quickly.
