Although the jump to Baltimore is a lateral move in name, it allows Doyle to take full responsibility for an offense for the first time in his NFL career. He’ll be a playmaker for an offense that struggled in 2025 but is loaded to the brim with differential.
Most notable among them is two-time MVP Lamar Jackson, who, thanks to Doyle’s rapid rise through the ranks, is the same age as his supervisor. In an injury-plagued season that saw Jackson miss four games and appear hampered in several others, the QB threw for 2,549 yards, 21 touchdowns and seven interceptions with a career-low 349 rushing yards.
Doyle’s role will be to help Jackson and the offense find their peak again, after falling out of the top five in scoring for the first time since 2022, down to 11th last season.
Among Doyle’s other new pieces to use are the ageless Derrick Henry, wide receiver Zay Flowers and safety Mark Andrews, who signed an extension in December.
In Johnson and Doyle’s first year in Chicago, the Bears made big strides, waking up from a four-year postseason hiatus and, once there, winning a playoff game for the first time since the 2010 season.
The Ravens, much more entrenched in recent success despite missing the postseason, will hope Doyle carries some of that magic and more to Baltimore.
