OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens first-year defensive coordinator Zach Orr is getting some help from one of his former coaches.

Longtime defensive coordinator Dean Pees, 75, was hired as a senior advisor for the Ravens struggling defense, according to a source.

Pees was the Ravens' defensive coordinator from 2012 to 2017, when he coached Orr as a player for three seasons.

Under Orr, who previously had never been a defensive play caller, Baltimore ranks 26th in points allowed (25.2) and 31st in pass defense (280.2). This is the second-most points the Ravens have ever allowed in the first five weeks of a season.
