What happened: Tyler Loop missed a season-ending 44-yard field goal after making 30 of his first 33 attempts, leaving Baltimore outside the playoffs. The Ravens replaced John Harbaugh with Jesse Minter and added Trey Hendrickson to the defense.
Why it matters: Lamar Jackson is signed through 2027, but Baltimore restructured his contract after extension talks failed to produce a deal before free agency. Minter inherits a roster facing immediate pressure to return to the postseason.
By the numbers: Baltimore finished 8-9, including 6-7 in Jackson's starts. Loop made 30 of 33 field-goal attempts before the decisive miss, a 90.9% conversion rate.
What to watch: Jackson's availability and Minter's first season will shape whether the overhaul produces a rebound.
