The Jaguars, however could only manage a 45-yard field goal by Myers that pulled them to within 14-10.
The Ravens had just taken a gut punch after suffering a heartbreaking 22-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Following the Jacksonville field goal, the Ravens responded with a quality scoring drive of their own. “I’m still trying to digest what happened to be completely honest with you”. Las Vegas now thinks that the Ravens are going to win by five in a game where the over/under is predicted to be 47.5. “That was a painful first”. We’re just leaving room for stuff like this to happen, ” said Joe Flacco, who threw three touchdown passes but also committed three turnovers. Dumervil loaded up his equipment bag, making nary a sound until the silence was interrupted by a clothes hanger clanging at the bottom of his locker. “I turned around and looked at the clock”. But he had not seen Green lateral the ball to a teammate, who ran it all the way down to the Browns’ 26.

Yet in the end, the Jags came up with the win when it mattered.
“Absolutely frustrating that we didn’t fix any of our previous issues from before the bye week”. “Then they snapped the ball so I jammed my guy”.
