Two mind-boggling defensive errors by the Ravens gave the Jaguars a last
The game was believed to be over, but Dumervil grabbed on the facemask of Bortles to take him down and put the Jaguars in field goal position with no time remaining. “That was probably the wildest finish I’ve ever been involved in”.
The Jaguars moved to just one game behind first place Indianapolis in the AFC South. Meanwhile, the Jags won’t have too much time to celebrate their win as they will play Thursday night as they host the Tennessee Titans at Everbank Stadium with the kickoff set for 8:25 p.m. After moving to the Baltimore 49, Bortles got collared by Dumervil after time expired. The game-clock was running, and so the false start penalty would have required a 10-second runoff, which would have ended the game.
“I take full responsibility for that one”, Dumvervil said. From there Myers booted the game-winning kick. “They didn’t get the snap off in the sense that they didn’t get everybody set”, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday, according to ESPN.
Baltimore Ravens have one of their start of the season with a 2-6 record. Hurns has 41 catches for 697 yards and seven touchdowns, through nine games and wants to extend that franchise record.
The Baltimore Ravens loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars is the most crushing game of the 2015 season. None hurt more than this one.
Per The Baltimore Sun’s Jeff Zrebiec and other reports, NFL Spokesman Michael Signora confirmed that the league errored on the play. “When you come up to snap the ball, we understood the timing of the thing”. I looked back and I see the guy fall. There was a flag. If this game is the highest scoring game of the week, I would be less than surprised. He completed 34 of 45 passes for 316 yards with three touchdowns, two interceptions and a lost fumble.
Said tight end Julius Thomas: “We have to play a better game of football”. Quarterback Joe Flacco’s 3 turnovers, the defense’s several missed opportunities for a few of their own added to the Jaguars missing a chip shot field goal means that a good team would have absolutely destroyed the Ravens. They caused four turnovers, with three of them being in consecutive drives to start the fourth quarter for the Ravens. On fourth-and-1 from the Jaguars’ 36, Flacco – under no pressure – threw in 1.41 seconds to Crockett Gillmore two yards short of the first-down marker. That set the Jaguars up with a 53-yard field goal attempt and no time on the clock.
Flacco made it three giveaways on three possessions when he lost a fumble at the Jacksonville 41. But in this game of errors, Myers was wide left on a 26-yard field goal try.
Bradford injured his left shoulder and sustained a concussion on a hard hit by linebacker Chris McCain in the third quarter and didn’t return, though X-rays on his shoulder were negative. Jacksonville TEs Mercedes Lewis and Nic Jacobs both left the game with injuries…. The Baltimore Ravens are just 3.5 contest out of one of the final two playoff seats.
