If there’s one thing the Jaguars have, it’s talented wideouts, and Baltimore will need to contain those threats by shutting down Bortles as soon as the ball is snapped. Bortles tripped and fell as he took the snap, got back up, not being touched by a defender, and was quickly brought down by a defender who dragged him down by grabbing his facemask. Instead, the play was allowed to continue, and an Elvis Dumervil personal foul moved the Jaguars into range for the game-winning field goal.

Close games have defined the Ravens’ dismal 2-7 season.
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. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network noted Hurns has “been dealing with it for a few time”, while John Oehser of Jaguars.com noted the visit was scheduled prior to the Ravens game.
In a stunned post-game locker room, the Ravens defenders tried to explain the unexplainable.
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Jason Myers, bottom center, celebrates with teammates after kicking the winning field goal in the final moments of an NFL football game against the Baltimore Ravens, Sunday, November 15, 2015, in Baltimore. Jacksonville stacked the box and essentially dared Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco to throw the ball. Flacco threw a pair of interceptions to cornerback Davon House and also lost a fumble in the third quarter. Mike finished up giving the secondary a grade of C saying “overall, a solid game, but there should have been three interceptions, one late that should have sealed the win for the Ravens”. But on first down from the 33, Flacco held onto the ball for too long and was strip sacked by Abry Jones. The Jaguars came with no timeouts and was forced to run hurry-up offense the entire way with just over a minute to play.
Their fourth of the half then came early in the fourth quarter on Ross’ muffed punt.
Following a humbling 37-13 loss to the visiting Chicago Bears and a decision to start Case Keenum in place of Nick Foles at quarterback, the Rams (4-5) don’t figure to get any sympathy from their next opponent. “It’s unfortunate, it’s disappointing, it’s gut wrenching, it’s just the way it goes”.
Allen Hurns, who extended his consecutive receiving touchdown streak on Sunday is reportedly dealing with an abdominal injury. He had nearly no chance to get the big play the Jaguars needed.
Cousins went 20 of 25 for 324 yards, with zero interceptions and a rating of 158.3.
Flacco’s 10-yard touchdown pass to tight end Crockett Gilmore made it 7-7 with 11:32 in the second quarter.
Although Flacco gave the ball away three times in the third quarter, Jacksonville managed only a field goal from the miscues and entered the fourth quarter trailing 14-13. But holding Jacksonville to a field goal was a victory of sorts of the Ravens’ defense which stiffened after the Jaguars had first-and-goal from the 3.
Kamar Aiken led all Ravens receivers with seven catches for 73 yards. On the drive, Flacco was 6-of-7 for 80 yards.
