Yep... And you know; as much as I've criticized him since about week 5 of 2019, I'da been sorta ok bringing him back if they somehow beat Baltimore. 5 wins after losing your franchise QB, best pass rushers, AJ being a dud... Not bad. My expectations were .500 give or take a game for him to keep his job. You can break out the excuse machine and rationalize 5 wins as touching .500 given the circumstances.

But no... They come out and get ***** demolished by the Ravens in the finale. Outside of that Saturn and Jupiter alignment that got them that win against Pittsburgh, they typically get whooped by the real contenders of the league, and just take a run of the mill beating from the also-rans of the league under Taylor.
