But, yellow laundry was on the field and Dumervil was tagged for a facemask against Bortles, netting the Jaguars 15 more yards and another play with zeros on the dial.

This team has allowed eight touchdowns to one interception to away teams, in addition to allowing a quarterback rating of over 116.
Joe Flacco went 34 for 45 for 316 yards and three touchdowns, but he threw two interceptions and lost a fumble.
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 punter Sam Koch booted his first touchback of the year, the Ravens lost containment on a 22-yard Blake Bortles scramble near midfield, and a late snap was ruled to have been executed just before the clock ran out on the Jaguars, who had no timeouts left. Jeremy Ross would then drop a punt return and give the Jaguars the ball deep in Ravens territory yet again. The onslaught of Ravens’ pass rushers also forced him to make a few critical mistakes.
Perhaps the most staggering thing about the Ravens this year is their total lack of discipline and depth-two things that have made them a perennial AFC powerhouse over the past two decades. When he struggles, the entire unit has trouble moving the ball. “As long as I stay consistent and be available every game, I think those kinds of opportunities will present themselves”.
The Jaguars enter play with a 2-6 record but are 4-4 against the spread after covering last Sunday versus the Jets in East Rutherford.
“I was just out there trying to do something to get us downfield”, Bortles said. The match-up is nice: Detroit has allowed six touchdowns to tight ends this season and Rodgers scored twice last week against Carolina. Good field position usually leads to points and that’s where the Ravens took advantage holding the lead through the middle of the third quarter.
On the next drive, the Ravens finally broke their streak of 61 drives without forcing a turnover, dating back to Week 3 against Cincinnati. But in this game of errors, Myers was wide left on a 26-yard field goal try.
Two teams that came into the matchup 2-6. On the drive, Flacco was 6-of-7 for 80 yards.
With 3:51 left, Dedes complimented the Ravens for “a nice pickup” on a short pass from Joe Flacco to Kyle Juszczyk, but Wilcots instantly followed it by criticizing the Ravens fullback for going out of bounds. The Ravens responded on the ensuing possession when tight end Maxx Williams caught his first career touchdown on a 21-yard pass from Flacco that provided a 14-10 lead at the break.
