Bortles led Jacksonville with two touchdown throws and 188 passing yards on 22 of 45 pass attempts completed.

Dumervil said he saw the play clock and saw the snap get off in time. When Jacksonville stopped the Bills on the next play, the Jaguars took possession and ran out the final 57 seconds of their second victory of the season. Safety Kendrick Lewis allowed a sure interception to slip through his hands on the play before Bortles’ completion to Thomas. And that’s exactly what Jason Myers did with 0:00 left on the clock.
He also fumbled at the Jaguars’ 33-yard line late in the third quarter. But Baltimore reclaimed the lead, 20-19, after Flacco tossed a touchdown pass to receiver Chris Givens midway through the fourth quarter. That field goal capped a 15-play, 77-yard drive that was keyed by a 27-yard pass interference penalty on Smith covering Jaguars wide receiver Allen Robinson. Getting a regional game with two teams that came into it at 2-6 says you are pretty far down there, though.
The Steelers had Ben Roethlisberger activated for the game, even though he had been suffering from a mid-foot sprain, but it was Landry Jones who got the start. The Jaguars’ Blake Bortles answered with a touchdown strike to Allen Robinson, but a failed two-point conversion put them up only 19-14.
Myers’ field goal was good on the untimed down.
With Sen’Derrick Marks out of the game with an elbow injury, the Ravens went to the run, and capitalized on good balance with a TD.
Both of those teams lost Sunday, but who cares at this point? None were bigger than one committed by Dumervil. However, Harbaugh was quick to defend Dumervil after the game. The defense appears to lack a vocal leader since linebacker Terrett Suggs went down with a season-ending torn Achilles in the season-opener.
However, the offense struggled mightily again. I feel like I shouldn’t get stopped no matter what from one yard. He didn’t have any major gaffes that I caught, and he is certainly competent in the nuts and bolts of calling a game.
The second-year Jaguars wideout will draw fantasy’s second-worst pass defense, the Ravens, in Week 10. In the end, Jacksonville was correct.
The Baltimore Ravens (2-6) are coming from a bye after beating San Diego, 29-26, in Week 8. “For us as a team, we can’t look back at last week”. We’ve lost a few of those too.
We knew going in that this was a matchup between 2 2-6 teams, but we were all hoping for better football. Still, the Ravens might have to overhaul this unit in the offseason.
Notes: Ravens C Jeremy Zuttah left in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury…. His status for next week’s game against the Titans is uncertain.
Head coach John Harbaugh said the team still believes the postseason is more than possible and the team is focused on playing into January. That made it 14-13, Ravens, with 14:27 remaining in the third quarter after cornerback Davon House intercepted Flacco to start the half.
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.
It was a chance for Ryan to see his son, Seth, a reserve wide receiver for the Tigers, and Watkins to reconnect with his alma mater. However, Gillmore was listed as questionable heading into the game against Jacksonville.

“I’m speechless”, defensive tackle Brandon Williams said. The second-year quarterback has shown flashes of brilliance, but is still prone to making mistakes. He also has 16 catches fro 156 yards and a score. This has added up to a quarterback rating of 105, something that Joe Flacco should be able to take advantage of, even with his lack of weapons. If the Ravens had been victorious, they had a favorable schedule coming up with the St. Louis Rams next week followed by the Cleveland Browns on Monday night football.
