Todd Monken says the Ravens’ analytics department gives the team an edge

The Baltimore Ravens are always looking for every advantage to win games and be as successful as possible. They have plenty of great strategies in place, which only add to what they try to do year in and year out.

When talking to the media, Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken shared that analytics are a huge part of the team’s work and that the NFL game, in general, is currently moving in this direction. He mentioned how Baltimore has a lot of intelligent people who run its analytics, and that gives it an edge.

“They’re a huge part of it. In terms of where it’s gone over the last few years in terms of information – the power of information that’s out there. I think information’s unbelievably useful – what you do with it is up to you. Whether the situation arises, whether it be by personnel, whether it be by game situations. We’ve got some really really smart people in those departments that I think give us an edge.”

The Ravens are an extremely analytics-based team, with head coach John Harbaugh and others trying to play the percentages as much as possible. While this strategy doesn’t always work, the Ravens are committed to it and should use it plenty in 2024.
