Baltimore Ravens rookie quarterback Joe Fagnano was thrust into the starting role on Thursday night after injuries sidelined Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. Fagnano credited his wife, Lydia, for helping him absorb the team's playbook during their honeymoon.
According to a report from People, the newlyweds dedicated part of their post-wedding trip to studying the offensive scheme, a preparation that paid off when Fagnano received the unexpected starting nod.
Fagnano's rapid ascent highlights the unpredictable nature of NFL depth charts and the importance of off-field support systems. The Ravens' coaching staff will evaluate his performance as the team navigates a challenging stretch without its top two quarterbacks.
