Ravens at Jaguars: Highlights, score, and recap

The Baltimore Ravens were looking to stay unbeaten while the Jacksonville Jaguars were hoping to grab their first victory on Sunday.

Did any team really want to win this game? What an amazing fourth quarter in Jacksonville as the unbeaten Baltimore Ravens rallied for a 19-17 victory over the still-winless Jacksonville Jaguars.
We saw both Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco and Blake Bortles each throw a pair of interceptions in the final minutes. We also saw the Jaguars have a field goal blocked as well while Baltimore’s Justin Tucker connected with what would be the game-winning kick from 54 yards out with just 1:02 to play.

Gus Bradley’s club spotted the visiting Ravens a 10-0 second-quarter lead. It proved to be a record-setting day for Flacco as the nine-year veteran signal-caller set a team mark with 21 straight completions during the game. He finished the game hitting on 29 of his 40 throws for 214 yards, albeit the aforementioned pair of picks.

There were a few positives for the Jaguars, most notably wide receiver Allen Robinson. After failing to reach the end zone the first two weeks of the season, the 2014 Pro Bowler was pretty busy on Sunday. Robinson totaled seven grabs for 57 yards and two touchdowns in the loss.
But when it was all said and done, it was another loss for Bradley’s club – the sixth in a row for the Jaguars dating back to last season.

Three Stars

1. Justin Tucker

The Ravens are now 3-for-3 when it comes to wins, this following a 5-11 season. Meanwhile, Tucker and his foot was perfect 4-of-4 on field goal attempts at Jacksonville. The kicks came from 43, 42, 37 and 54 yards –the last coming with 62 ticks left on the clock as Baltimore remained perfect in 2016.

2. Paul Posluszny

We have been waiting for the new and supposedly-improved Jacksonville defense to show up. But it was one of Gus Bradley’s veterans that came up big on Sunday. Albeit coming in a losing effort, Posluszny totaled a game-high 12 tackles and picked off Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco in the fourth quarter, giving his team every chance to win their first game of the season (which they didn’t).

3. C.J. Mosley

The 2014 first-round draft choice didn’t rack up an amazing amount of tackles. But Mosley’s one-handed interception of a Blake Bortles pass in the first half is one of the better defensive plays you will see. The three-year pro finished the afternoon with six stops. Baltimore has allowed just 44 points in three games this season, all decided by six points or less.
