Five weeks into the season, the Baltimore Ravens sat with a 3-2 record. They’d lost by a toe against the Kansas City Chiefs in the opener, 20-27, but followed up with a disappointing loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, 23-26. Only their win over the Buffalo Bills, 35-10, was a true defensive showing. They’d allowed 25.2 points per game, and 280.2 passing yards per game.
Three days after their overtime win against the Cincinnati Bengals, 41-38, the Ravens announced they were hiring former defensive coordinator Dean Pees as a Senior Advisor.
