Elvis Dumervil: ‘I Take Full Responsibility’

After staring victory in the face Sunday afternoon, the Ravens managed to find a way to lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars as Jason Myers kicked the game winning field goal as time expired. That left Myers with a 53-yard field-goal attempt, which he put through the uprights, delivering another blow to the Ravens’ season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars needed all 60 minutes – and then a few – to secure a rare, uplifting victory on the road. Baltimore linebacker Elvis Dumervil grabbed quarterback Blake Bortles’ facemask while making a tackle, giving Jacksonville one more play. The Jaguars have struggled to stop opponents passing games this season but they rank sixth against the run while allowing 94.2 yards per game. The question that Head Coach John Harbaugh had after the game was whether the Jaguars got the final snap off before the clock hit zero. So the center snapped the ball literally a tenth of a second before the game would have ended.

None of these elements were enough to carry the Baltimore Ravens offense by themselves, but when combined together, it is a much harder offense to defend against and equaled to one of Flacco’s best days in terms of yardage.

Suddenly, the Jaguars are only one game behind first place in the AFC South and will be coming back home to play the Tennessee Titans in a Thursday Night Football showdown.

“Obviously, just about as tough as a loss as you’re ever going to see”, Harbaugh said. “Really, what we have to deal with right now is how we handle it, where we go forward from here”. On the second interception, Flacco threw off his back foot and the ball was easily caught by Jaguars cornerback Davon House. They caused four turnovers, with three of them being in consecutive drives to start the fourth quarter for the Ravens. However, three of those drives resulted in Koch punts and on the other, the Ravens were stopped on downs as Flacco’s completion to Crockett Gillmore went for just one yard on 4th-and-3.

Myers wasn’t already cut and kicked out of the stadium for arguably the worst field goal attempt I have ever seen in my life?

It’s been an ugly season for the Ravens, who move to 2-7 with the loss.

Baltimore (2-7) has lost its seven games this season by a total of 32 points.

In nine games played this season, his first year with the Jets, the 32-year-old quarterback has 169 completions for 1,983 yards, 15 touchdowns, and nine interceptions.

Like Baltimore, the Jaguars have experienced problems this season in close games. “It shows on your record”. However, the offense was stalled in the redzone and Myers shanked a 26-yard field goal to the left.
