The Baltimore Ravens, yet again, enjoyed a stellar regular season. Following the assembly of a star-studded lineup featuring superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson, the team achieved a 12-win season in 2024.
Once more, the playoffs demonstrated to be overwhelming. The Ravens were defeated in a Divisional Round clash with the Buffalo Bills, losing 27-25 in a heartbreaking game.
Although Jackson and the Ravens didn’t fully achieve the playoff success they had anticipated after acquiring star running back Derrick Henry in the offseason, they discovered a foundational element with the backfield pair.
As the Ravens progress, they will face salary cap challenges not only to keep their star-caliber roster but also to enhance it with additional talent and demonstrate that they are a Super Bowl-contending team.
One aspect where the Ravens can sustain consistency and develop continuity is through their coaching team. They prolonged the agreement of offensive coordinator Todd Monken, and head coach John Harbaugh may be next.
The team is also bringing back a defensive backs coach that Harbaugh originally included on his staff in 2008.
The Ravens have recently disclosed that after 17 years, Chuck Pagano is coming back to the team in the same role. After becoming a defensive backs coach, he spent a period serving as Baltimore’s defensive coordinator.
“We’re thrilled to have Chuck Pagano return as our Sr. Secondary Coach!” the Ravens announced on X.
Following his tenure as the Ravens’ defensive coordinator, Pagano became the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts and later took on the role of defensive coordinator with the Chicago Bears.
Pagano brings extensive football experience and will assist the Ravens’ secondary, which enhanced its performance throughout last season following a rocky beginning in defending against rival teams’ passing offenses.
