Heavy rain fell on M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on Thursday night as the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Baltimore Ravens 33-10.
The Jaguars (6-2) reached the 30-point mark for the third straight game and the fifth time this season. Cam Little tied his career high with four field goals. The defense intercepted rookie quarterback Joe Fagnano twice and forced three turnovers for the ninth time since the start of last season. This marked the third consecutive game in which the Jaguars played in the rain, following a loss in London and a 42-7 win in Jacksonville.
Fagnano made his first start after Tyler Huntley suffered a turf toe injury and Lamar Jackson suffered a right thumb injury. Jackson was placed on injured reserve Thursday and will miss at least the next three games. Baltimore is expected to finalize a trade for veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett this weekend. The Ravens have now been held to under 14 points in three straight games for the first time in team history under first-year head coach Jesse Minter.
The Ravens dropped their fourth straight game and their third straight by 20 or more points, the first time that has happened in the 31-year franchise history. Fagnano completed 10 of 18 passes for 60 yards and two interceptions. Baltimore committed three false starts in the first half by offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, tight end Mark Andrews, and wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane. The team leads the NFL with 24 false starts this season, up from 19 last season.
Wide receiver Zay Flowers was held to six yards on three catches. He had 40 catches for 608 yards in the first seven weeks. The Ravens were without top cornerback Nate Wiggins, who was inactive with an illness. Baltimore has allowed 1,421 yards to wide receivers, the third most in the league.
Jaguars wideout Parker Washington caught a 50-yard pass from Fagnano for a touchdown in the second quarter. That play was the Jaguars' 11th offensive touchdown of at least 20 yards this season, the most in the NFL. Washington entered the game averaging 3.5 yards on eight punt returns and had not returned a punt since Week 6. He finished with one return for 11 yards. Travis Hunter, who received reps as a returner Sunday, did not have any returns Thursday.
The Jaguars play the Tennessee Titans on November 15 at 1 p.m. ET. The Ravens face the Los Angeles Chargers on November 16 at 8:15 p.m. ET.
