02 / THE GAME STORY

Baltimore expects another quarterback change

Baltimore lost 33-10 to Jacksonville with Joe Fagnano starting, after conceding 36 at Buffalo. Minter now expects Brissett to take over while Jackson and Huntley remain on injured reserve. The Chargers scored 22 against Houston but conceded 44, so their route to a first win also depends on a substantial defensive improvement.

Hamilton’s encouraging hip update could help Baltimore if it becomes clearance, but it is not clearance yet. The quarterback plan is clearer than the model: no supported Brissett adjustment exists. The very low earlier team-history total is therefore withheld along with the handicap, rather than offered as a confident forecast of this new matchup.
