The Story in 60 Seconds

Baltimore Ravens head coach and defensive play caller Jesse Minter announced that defensive changes are being considered following recent struggles. Over their last three games, the Ravens have conceded an average of 34.7 points per game, dropping to 25th in the league in points allowed per game (26.2). The defense has also surrendered the most fourth-quarter points in the NFL during the team's current four-game losing streak.

Minter emphasized that eliminating explosive plays is his top priority, noting that coaches are evaluating schemes, play calls, and player lineups. While cornerback Nate Wiggins is expected to return from illness against the Los Angeles Chargers, Baltimore could adjust playing time across the secondary, with cornerbacks Chidobe Awuzie and T.J. Tampa potentially seeing increased roles.
