Breaks fall Jags way in win over Ravens
Kicker Justin Myers made a 53-yard field goal to lift the Jacksonville Jaguars to a 22-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens on November 15 at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Myers’ extra point made it 7-0, Jaguars, with 2:29 remaining in the first quarter.
“The correct call in this case would have been to penalize the offense for a false start because all 11 players were not set, and whistle to stop the play”, National Football League spokesman Michael Signora said in response to criticism from John Harbaugh. Harbor said he purposely – and convincingly – fell to the ground when Miami defensive end Olivier Vernon pushed him at the end of a running play.
Everything had to be perfectly executed for the Jaguars to have any chance of getting off a fourth-down play. Granted, they’d be tied with losing records but the Jaguars will take what they can get. That being said, it is still a huge margin, but it’s definitely not an invincible one. It was at two seconds.
I should know better. The league could also expand the replay system to make anything reviewable that impacts a game in the final two minutes of play, even if it requires a 20-minute meeting among the replay officials in NY to re-read the rulebook and make sure everybody is on the same page.
Myers did admit that he was hoping to find himself in the situation that he did: game on the line – and whether he wants to admit or not, paycheck on the line, too.
“The frustrating part has to be so close that we can feel it and we’re just not getting it done in the end”, Marks said. This is a significantly favorable game for the Baltimore Ravens that could get them back to a. 500 record.
The final seconds redeemed what was a poor outing for the offense.
It’s not that I’m mad the team won because of any agenda or belief, but the fact that I had already gone through the slew of emotions that come when the Jaguars were in the middle of squandering yet another game they should have won during the 2015 season.
This time, at least, it involved two 2-6 teams and probably won’t impact the playoff hunt.
The Jaguars visit the Baltimore Ravens at noon CST Sunday.
It has frustrated Harbaugh, who has been to the postseason six of the past seven years.
Minnesota’s impressive victory over Oakland relegates the 6-3 Pack to the wild card spot, and their two-game lead in that race will start to look very slim indeed if Rodgers and head coach Mike McCarthy can’t kick-start the offence in the coming weeks. It also was his fourth miss of the season, and while it wasn’t as devastating as the two potential game-winning field goals he missed against Indianapolis on October 4, it definitely put him in jeopardy of being cut.
“It’s a real mental week”, Thomas said. Had that penalty been called, the Lions would have likely gotten the ball back at a critical juncture late in the game. Preston then moved on to the running backs giving them a grade of C- saying “the Ravens finished with 89 rushing yards on 21 carries, but they never controlled the pace of the game”. “We can’t look at a game where we didn’t perform the way we wanted to and say, ‘OK, that’s where we’re at right now.’ We need to continue to build.”.
