The Ravens held a 20-19 lead as the final seconds ticked off the clock with an Elvis Dumervil sack on Blake Bortles which should have concluded the game and given the Ravens the win.

Watch Jacksonville Jaguars vs Baltimore Ravens (live stream and scores here) contest: Jags vs. Ravens game in Week 10 run of the 2015 National Football League season takes place on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 PM ET and gets underway at M&T Bank Stadium. Their latest defeat was the cruelest of them all – in part because it involved an officiating error.
With the loss, the Ravens move to 2-6 on the season. The game-clock was running, and so the false start penalty would have required a 10-second runoff, which would have ended the game. He wasn’t throwing a game-winning pass. Obviously Dumervil didn’t mean to stick his hand in Bortles’ facemask (and was a stand-up guy about it after the game), but he shouldn’t be blindly stabbing his hand anywhere on that play.
The Ravens suffered a major loss, however, as veteran Steve Smith’s season came to an end due to a torn Achilles tendon. “That’s not the efficiency we’re looking for”, Bradley said.
“I think we have improved”, Marks said last week at the Jacksonville practice facility. The Ravens (2-7) lost for just the second time in eight games following a bye week under coach John Harbaugh.
From there, Jaguars kicker Jason Myers made up for an earlier 26-yard miss by booting the ball through the swirling wind and through the goalposts to send Ravens fans home stunned and the players home for January bewildered. “Once we got the ball back, I spent my time concentrating and preparing for a chance I hoped would come”. “It’s gut-wrenching. It’s just the way it goes”. “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”.
The over/under for this game is 47.5 total points.
-CB Davon House had two interceptions off Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco on consecutive possessions in the second half. He finished the day with 22 completions on 45 attempts with 188 yards with two touchdowns to add to the interception. “We kept on saying “the turnovers are coming’ and they came”. While not a breakthrough game for him, he did catch a ball for 21 yards, showing enough talent to get more opportunities in the future. “It shows in your record”.
