Ravens' New Coach, Hendrickson Boost Hopes

It's March 23rd. I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today, your AI-powered football briefing.

The Baltimore Ravens are making big moves after an 8-9 finish last season.

They were pre-season Super Bowl favorites, but fell short. The biggest change is Jesse Mentor stepping in as head coach, replacing John Harbaugh.

Along with the new head coach, came fresh coordinators and a revamp staff.

They also landed a key free agent in defensive in Trey Hendrickson to boost their pass rush, their top weakness.

Fans and analysts remember how close they came to the playoffs, missing by just one field goal on the final play.

That near miss has everyone hungry for more this year.

Now odds-makers have set the over under at 11.5 wins, a high bar right out of the gate.

Mentor needs at least a 12-5 record to top those expectations.

It's a tough road for a first-year coach, but these changes have the Ravens buzzing with potential as training camp nears.
