Overview
- The Ravens are 1-2 and rank last in yards allowed (415 per game) and near the bottom in points allowed (about 32 per game) after losses to the Bills and Lions.
- Kyle Hamilton called criticism of second-year coordinator Zach Orr unfair and said some fans are “a little bit spoiled,” a stance that drew pushback from some supporters online.
- Zach Orr acknowledged scheme and execution shortcomings against Detroit and said he is blocking out outside noise to focus on week-to-week corrections.
- Injuries remain a factor, with top defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) out again and edge rusher Kyle Van Noy (hamstring) uncertain, while other linemen have been banged up.
- Advanced metrics show regression in success rate, EPA per play and third-down defense, and players cite tackling and physicality as priorities heading into the Week 4 game at Arrowhead.
