Monken Reflects on Ravens Missed Chances

Todd Monken, now leading the Cleveland Browns, candidly reflected on his tenure as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator, admitting he failed to unlock Lamar Jackson’s full potential during high-stakes moments—especially in the AFC Championship loss to the Chiefs, where they scored just ten points. He criticized his own play-calling as too conservative and reactive, acknowledging he didn’t coach well enough to elevate Jackson when it mattered most. Monken also admitted his direct, sometimes brash style may have hurt his past head coaching chances, but remains laser-focused on winning. He wrapped up with a funny anecdote: after congratulating Jackson on his MVP season, he jokingly told him to “go f— yourself” because he’d blitz him every third down—something Jackson apparently found hilarious.
