The Baltimore Ravens made a quarterback change for Week 8.
Lamar Jackson remains out with a hamstring injury, but nominal backup Cooper Rush isn't getting the start for the Ravens against the Chicago Bears. Instead, it's Tyler "Snoop" Huntley.
Huntley has started for the Ravens in the past and is a more mobile quarterback than Rush.
Baltimore is 1-5 and has no more margin for error. With Jackson still out, it felt like the Ravens had to try something different, and so they've called upon Huntley.
And yeah, he goes by Snoop. It's a pretty common moniker for him, one that announcers will use on broadcasts.

Why is Tyler Huntley called nickname Snoop?
Tyler Huntley got his nickname Snoop in high school because of his resemblance to the rapper Snoop Dogg.
The Salt Lake Tribune wrote this in 2017: "A skinny kid with long hair before his freshman year at Hallandale, a former coach nicknamed Huntley 'Snoop' because of his resemblance to rapper Snoop Dogg. Even now, when Utes teammates walked off the practice field as Huntley began media availability this week, chants of 'Snoop' rang through the air."
Huntley summed it up after he joined the NFL by saying, "Long story short, I was skinny with long hair. Got the name Snoop."
These days, Huntley is less skinny and doesn't have the long hair. But he's still got the nickname Snoop.
