After several weeks of mounting criticism, the Ravens defense finally showed up in Week 8 — and with it, defensive coordinator Zach Orr might have just bought himself a stay of execution.
Heading into the game against the Chicago Bears, the Ravens sat at 1-5, staring at a critical juncture for their season and for the coaching staff. On Sunday, they delivered a 30-16 victory that lit hope back in Baltimore.
Orr came into this season with high expectations. But the Ravens had been very inconsistent and outright bad. In part, they are unable to finish off drives or create enough disruptive plays.
