What Can Ravens Expect When They Face Todd Monken’s Browns?
When Todd Monken was hired as the Ravens’ offensive coordinator in 2023, his mission was to evolve the Lamar Jackson-led offense and take it to another level.
The Ravens had one of the most explosive offenses in the league during Monken’s first two seasons, Jackson won his second MVP award, and had the best season of his career in 2024.
Monken has a much different task as the new head coach of the Cleveland Browns, who had the 31st-ranked offense this season and have an unsettled quarterback situation.
The Browns’ quarterback room consists of veteran Deshaun Watson and 2025 draft picks Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel. Sanders started the final seven games this season.
What can the Ravens expect when they face Monken’s Browns?
Champ Bailey, a former teammate of fellow Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders (Shedeur’s father), believes Shedeur should be the starter and can flourish under Monken.
“The guy’s obviously an offensive genius,” Bailey said on the “Up & Adams” show. “I want to see what he does with a true pocket passer like Shedeur Sanders. As long as they get together and start going over what it means to play in his system, I see great things for Shedeur.”
