Key Highlights
- Such a move would reunite Monken with current Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield. Monken and Mayfield worked together during the 2019 season in Cleveland.

- Henry had over 1,500 total yards despite Monken inexplicably sitting the running back in critical stretches in several disappointing losses this season. Under Monken's guidance last season, then 28-year-old Lamar Jackson set career highs in touchdown passes (41), passing yards (4,172), and quarterback rating (119.6) while throwing just four interceptions.
- Entering his third season as offensive coordinator, Jackson's growth as a quarterback was expected to continue and reach another level as he enters the prime of his career.
- In his first two years, Monken's offense in Baltimore was among the NFL's best, with the unit ranking first in red zone touchdown percentage at 67.9 percent, rushing yards per game at 172.1, and passer rating at 110.8.
- The team also ranked second in points per game with 28.4, yards per play at 6,3, and total yards per game with 397.6 during the two-year span.
