Jesse Minter notched his first win as the Baltimore Ravens' head coach on Saturday night, taking down the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 24-7.
"It was a great experience," Minter said after the game. "I want to give a ton of credit to our coaching staff."
Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle led his unit to 440 yards and 31 first downs, dominating with long drives throughout the game and putting up lopsided time-of-possession and play-count numbers. On the other side of the ball, Minter and defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver oversaw a near-shutout; the Eagles' only points came with 2:24 left in the game after averaging just 4.0 yards per play and going 0-for-9 on third down.
Special teams was the Ravens' shakiest area with second-year kicker Tyler Loop missing an early 49-yard field goal and rookie punter Ryan Eckley shanking his first pro attempt for just 31 yards. Both bounced back later in the game, but their performance did little to quell questions about the team's specialists.
Minter also gave a "major shout-out" to undrafted rookie quarterback Joe ****** nano, who completed 22 of his 28 passes for 224 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Minter even downplayed the turnover, saying that he "liked the throw that he made" and crediting Eagles cornerback Kelee Ringo for making a great play.
