NFL wild-card best and worst coaching decisions: Todd Monken, Ravens outwit Steelers’ D

New York Times  

You’ve heard it a million times from commentators, but playoff football is different. The Baltimore Ravens rode option football en route to a blowout, Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik moved away from his typical play-calling pattern, and Washington Commanders coach Dan Quinn stayed true to himself. T.J. Watt’s responsibility is to crash the running back to force Jackson to keep the ball, and linebacker Peyton Wilson loops around to take Jackson. 6:20 remaining in the third quarter, first-and-10 Here, the Ravens had tight end Mark Andrews on the backside to block linebacker Alex Highsmith, who was supposed to crash Henry. Derrick Henry has 155 of those 😤 pic.twitter.com/ZMBGESwJEj — NFL January 12, 2025 5:52 remaining in the fourth quarter, second-and-8 On this play, the Ravens lined up Andrews on Henry’s side.
