A year ago, the Tennessee Titans beat the No. 1 seed Baltimore Ravens on national television. After 12-straight wins in the regular season, the Ravens were bounced after their No. 1 seed bye week. This left the franchise reeling.
That offseason, Eric DeCosta constructed the Ravens’ roster to never allow such postseason embarrassment to the Titans again.
List of moves made by Eric DeCosta
- Traded for Jaguars DE Calais Campbell
- Attempted to sign DE Michael Brockers, before signing DE Derek Wolfe
- Drafted Patrick Queen
- Drafted Malik Harrison
- Drafted Justin Madubuike
- Drafted Broderick Washington
- Traded for Vikings DE/OLB Yannick Ngakoue
While many expressed frustrations on the lack of offensive weapons, DeCosta stuck to his structure of building up the Ravens’ defense, proven by his midseason acquisition of Ngakoue.
