What happened: Faulkner said Tomlin had spoken with Baltimore coach Jesse Minter before sharing the hiring decision. The running backs coach joined Baltimore after seven seasons in his previous NFL post.

Why it matters: The move kept Faulkner in the AFC North, bringing divisional familiarity to Baltimore. It also placed him on Minter’s first Ravens staff.

What to watch: Baltimore’s preseason will offer the first game look at Faulkner’s work with the backfield.
