Inexplicable Todd Monken stat sparks job security questions after Bengals disaster

The Baltimore Ravens' coaching staff has been rightfully criticized for not properly utilizing Derrick Henry this season. These critiques (rightfully) reached an all-time high after an embarrassing 32-14 Thanksgiving Night loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Let's put into perspective just how poor Todd Monken's play-calling was on Thursday. Lamar Jackson dropped back 38 times, but Henry had just 10 carries. In the second quarter specifically, Lamar dropped back 12 times, which resulted in a negative EPA, and Henry didn't get a single carry. To make matters worse, this came against the 31st-ranked Bengals defense.
