Overview
- Following a 37-20 loss to the Chiefs, John Harbaugh criticized specific offensive decisions, citing a second-series interception, poor short-yardage planning, and delay-of-game issues.
- Todd Monken said Harbaugh’s points had already been discussed in-house, accepted responsibility for what was "below the line," and committed to fixing it.
- Monken stressed a need to call more runs and increase total snaps, with local reporting noting Baltimore has trailed in time of possession and play count in every game this season.
- Lamar Jackson is managing a hamstring issue, did not practice Friday, and could miss Week 5, with Cooper Rush preparing as the fallback option.
- The defeat marked Baltimore’s third loss in four games despite ranking third in points scored, while a Baltimore Sun letter criticized Harbaugh for airing the critique publicly.
