There’s a new offensive play caller in Baltimore, as Declan Doyle will take over the reins from new Browns head coach Todd Monken. The requirements are to get a two-time MVP into the Super Bowl sooner rather than later, and he’ll have plenty of talent at the skill positions to get the Ravens back into the thick of the AFC playoff discussions.
With the offseason set to begin, we’re looking at Declan Doyle’s new offense in Baltimore compared to the high-powered unit he left behind in Chicago.
QB
Ravens Lamar Jackson
Bears Caleb Wiliams
Williams set a single-season franchise passing record with 3,942 yards to go along with 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He was sacked 24 times in his second season after enduring 68 as a rookie. Jackson was battered and missed four games, going 192-302 passing (63.6 completion percentage) for 2,549 yards (196.1 per game), 21 touchdowns, 7 interceptions, and a 103.8 passer rating.
RB
Ravens Derrick Henry
Bears D’Andre Swift/Kyle Monangai
Henry is guaranteed $11 million in 2026, but has one of the smallest cap hits in the league for an elite player after another 1,500-yard season. Only Jonathan Taylor, Christian McCaffrey, and James Cook had more carries than Henry, and his 1,595 rushing yards were second in the NFL. Keaton Mitchell played in 13 games, but only accounted for 341 rushing yards. Justice Hill is a candidate to be cut, but Rasheen Ali and Mitchell have yet to display backup running back production.
Last season, the Bears made key decisions to improve their running game. They chose to keep Swift, drafted Monangai in the seventh round, and upgraded both the offensive line and coaching staff. These changes led to a dominant running unit. Swift had an impressive season, with 223 carries for 1,087 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns, along with 34 receptions for 299 yards and 1 touchdown. Rookie Monangai complemented Swift’s performance with 169 carries, totaling 783 yards and 5 touchdowns, and contributed 18 receptions for 164 yards.
WR
Ravens Rashod Bateman/Zay Flowers, Devontez Walker, LaJohntay Wester
Bears DJ Moore/Rome Odunze/Luther Burden
Rashod Bateman had a down year and even missed the AFC North title game with an illness. After a career year in 2024, Bateman finished with 13 games played, 12 starts, 38 targets, 19 receptions, 224 yards receiving, and two touchdowns. Zay Flowers is the biggest star of the group, logging back-to-back Pro Bowls after accounting for 85 catches, 1,211 yards, and five touchdowns. Still, the lack of development and opportunities for Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester will be something the new coach will need to watch. DeAndre Hopkins had 39 catches for 330 yards and two touchdowns.
In Baltiomre it was Flowers and some Hopkins statistically. In Chicago, the Bears had a balanced group with three players exceeding 650 yards, yet they were still underwhelming. DJ Moore and Rome Odunze returned as the top two options, while the Bears added rookie Luther Burden and journeyman Olamide Zaccheaus to a solid core. Moree had 50 receptions, 682 yards, 6 touchdowns; 15 carries, 79 yards, 1 touchdown. Burden had 47 receptions, 652 yards, 2 touchdowns; 6 carries, 37 yards. Odunze logged 44 receptions, 661 yards, 6 touchdowns, and Zaccheus had 39 receptions, 313 yards, 2 touchdowns; 4 carries, 25 yards
TE
After some off-season and summertime doubt, the Mark Andrews era will continue in Baltimore, after the Ravensagreed to terms on a three-year, $39.3 million extension with the franchise’s all-time leading catcher. Andrews caught two of three targets for 14 yards in the Ravens’ 26-24 loss to the Steelers in Week 18. He finished the season with 48 catches for 422 yards and five touchdowns on 70 targets, adding 10 rushes for 48 yards and a score. The tight end saw a drop in receptions, yards, and touchdowns from last season. Likely had his training camp derailed by a broken foot, and it was inconsistent from there. His training camp was cut short after he broke his foot in late July during a one-on-one drill. He missed the start of the season and finished with 27 catches on 36 targets for 307 yards, all career lows.
For Chicago, their rookie tight end, selected by the Bears with the 10th overall pick in the draft, developed into an elite talent. Tight end Colston Loveland blossomed into a key contributor in 2025, catching 58 passes for 713 yards and six touchdowns, becoming the first rookie to lead the Bears in receiving yards since Willie Gault in 1983 and the first rookie tight end to do so since Hall of Famer Mike Ditka in 1961.
OL
The Ravens’ offensive line took a big step backward in 2025, both as a unit and individually. They finished just 28th in PFF pass-blocking efficiency rating (82.8) after allowing 155 pressures, 17 sacks, on 501 snaps. Offensive guards Andrew Vorhees and Daniel Faalele were the primary issue. Baltimore’s offensive guards finished the season with a cumulative 52.1 PFF run-blocking grade, which ranked only 27th in the NFL. Star center Tyler Linderbaum continued to be one of the best run-blocking centers in the NFL. His 83.1 PFF run-blocking grade ranked fourth at the position.
The Bears’ offensive line gave up a league-high 37 sacks in 2024, but the retooled unit surrendered only 13 sacks in 2025. Chicago allowed 145 pressures on 643 snaps, earning an 87.7 PFF pass-blocking efficiency rating, which ranked third in the NFL this season. Third-year right tackle Darnell Wright finished the season with an 85.6 PFF run-blocking grade, which ranked seventh among all offensive tackles. Joe Thuney was the Bears’ best player. Thuney continues to showcase elite pass protection at the guard position. His 88.6 PFF pass-blocking grade led all guards in 2025.
