Key Highlights

  • Orr will have options in New York, and he could head West to join another Harbaugh. Adam Schefter reports that Orr will interview for the Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator position. Baltimore was 0-4 this season in games decided by 5 points or fewer, and overall, under Harbaugh, the Ravens are 45-61 in such games since 2008.

  • This season, Baltimore finished 24th in total defense, 30th in passing defense, 18th in scoring defense, 30th in total sacks, 18th in total turnovers, and 22nd in turnover differential.
  • The 30 sacks were only three more than the franchise record for fewest in a single season (27 in 16 games in 2010).
  • Down the stretch, the Ravens defense allowed 300+ yard performances to New England's Drake Maye, Green Bay's Malik Willis, and the Steelers' Aaron Rodgers — twice.
  • In the season finale with DK Metcalf serving a suspension, Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers still lit Baltimore up, going 31-for-47 for 294 yards and a touchdown in a must-win scenario. Orr played linebacker for the Ravens; he was Harbaugh's hand-picked choice to replace Mike McDonald.
