Two days before the most-anticipated game of his NFL career, Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken conducted a virtual head coaching interview with the Bears on Friday.

Monken has been the Ravens’ play-caller the past two years. They rank second in the NFL with 464 yards per game this season and third with 289 points per game. Their 299 rushing yards per game leads the league, and quarterback Lamar Jackson is one of the favorites to win the MVP.

Monken, whose Ravens are set to face the Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs Sunday, went to Wheaton North High School before attending Knox College in Galesburg, where he played quarterback and graduated in 1989.
