‘Baltimore Ravens at Jacksonville Jaguars- 9/25/16 NFL Pick, Odds, and Prediction’
As he jogged off the field and straight into the locker after his final pass of the game, Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles knew had had missed an opportunity to give his team a critical victory. On a 52-yard field goal attempt, Ravens defensive lineman Brent Urban got a hand on the ball, and the Ravens recovered it.
“It’s about us this week and how we come back and how do we handle getting punched in the mouth, and how do we respond to play at a high level”, said Bradley, whose 12-38 record in four seasons is the second worst in National Football League history for anyone who has coached at least 50 games. Tucker drilled the field goal, and because of yet another penalty, allowed the Ravens to take a six point lead into the half.
Sunday’s 19-17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens was shared among several entities. The Ravens settled for a field goal and a 16-7 lead. “PESPT006850-topic.html” class=”local_link” >Steve Smith Sr. approached Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey and appeared to have aggressive words for the rookie.
The Ravens got the ball, but quickly Flacco threw his first pick of the day on a tipped pass.
Bortles was 24-of-38 for 194 yards and was sacked four times.
The key takeaway for the Jaguars here isn’t that the loss hurts, though. After one quarter of play Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco had 13 yards rushing and a touchdown. As the kicker came out a 53-yard field goal, he could not have looked more poised. He had a 3-yard score in the first quarter and an 11-yarder in the third.
While it would be easy to just write off Jacksonville as having another awful season, there are still 13 games to be played. The drive fittingly came to an end when Bortles found Robinson with a three yard touchdown pass to pull within three.The defense seemed to feed off the offense’s success by appearing to force a three and out before Malik Jackson was sited with a roughing the passer call that gave the Ravens 15 yards and extended the drive. In the season opener, they had a chance to beat Green Bay but failed to convert a fourth down for a chance at a go-ahead touchdown with less than 30 seconds remaining.
The Jags will play their first divisional opponent at 9:30 a.m. next Sunday when they take on the Indianapolis Colts at Wembley Stadium in London.
Even in the first half, the Ravens offense could not do much to the young Jaguars’ defense.
