FINAL: Jacksonville Jaguars 33, Baltimore Ravens 10

Somebody needs to explain what exactly is happening in Baltimore, because the Ravens are quickly becoming one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL.

Thursday night was another embarrassing chapter in what has turned into a disastrous season for a franchise that entered 2026 with championship expectations. Jacksonville walked into Baltimore, controlled the game, exposed the Ravens' offensive problems and left with a convincing 33-10 win.

And honestly, it could have been worse. Jacksonville settled for four field goals, and Baltimore's only touchdown came with the game long decided.

But let's talk about Baltimore, because there is plenty to unpack.

The Ravens: When Your Quarterback Has Running Back Numbers, You Have a Problem

Joe Fagnano finished 10 of 18 for 60 yards with two interceptions.

Sixty yards!

That sounds like a running back's stat line. Ten carries for 60 yards would be a respectable night for a back. Ten completions for 60 yards from your quarterback? That's an entirely different conversation. Baltimore finished with 55 net passing yards.

The Ravens played so conservatively you wondered whether the coaching staff had any intention of letting the rookie throw the football. Baltimore relied on Derrick Henry, even lining him up in the Wildcat for direct snaps. Henry completed his only pass, for minus-3 yards.

When Fagnano finally had chances to make something happen, he threw two interceptions, one to Montaric Brown and one to Jourdan Lewis. Jacksonville finished with three takeaways.

I'm not suggesting an undrafted rookie should be expected to rescue a struggling franchise. But this was an offensive performance that should have every Ravens fan questioning the direction of this organization.

Baltimore has now lost four straight and fallen to 4-5.

And here's something that should really sting in Baltimore:

The Cleveland Browns Have a Better Record Than the Ravens

Let that sink in.

The Browns are 5-3. The Ravens are 4-5 and sitting at the bottom of the AFC North.

Pittsburgh is 6-2, Cincinnati is 5-2, Cleveland is 5-3, and Baltimore is bringing up the rear.

When Cleveland has a better record than you, it's time to start looking in the mirror.

Maybe It's Time to Trade Derrick Henry

Here's where I think Baltimore needs to have a serious conversation.

Derrick Henry is a future Hall of Famer, a tremendous running back, and one of the most physically imposing players ever to play the position.

But he's also 32 years old, and the Ravens are wasting valuable time trying to squeeze one more championship run out of a roster that suddenly looks nowhere near championship caliber.

Henry finished with just 57 yards on 17 carries. He did pass Jerome Bettis and LaDainian Tomlinson on Thursday to move into seventh place on the NFL's all-time rushing list. Curtis Martin (14,101 yards) is next. See where he sits on our 2026 rushing leaders.

That's a remarkable accomplishment.

But what exactly is Baltimore's plan?

The Ravens traded for Jacoby Brissett from Arizona this week, and he's expected to start Monday, November 16, against the Chargers. Are we seriously supposed to believe Brissett turns this team into an AFC contender? Track every move on our NFL transactions page.

If Baltimore believes Lamar Jackson isn't coming back this season, maybe the organization should consider becoming a seller.

There are contenders who would love to add a running back with Henry's experience and physical ability.

With the trade deadline on Tuesday, November 10, Baltimore has a decision to make.

Do you keep trying to salvage a season that looks increasingly lost, or do you get something valuable for an aging superstar while you still can?

I'm not saying Henry doesn't have anything left. I'm saying Baltimore needs to decide whether his remaining productive years are better spent somewhere with a legitimate chance to compete.

And What About Lamar Jackson's Future?

This might be the biggest question surrounding the entire organization.

Jackson had just come back from a high ankle sprain that cost him three games when he hurt his right thumb on Baltimore's first offensive snap in Buffalo last Sunday. He needs surgery and is on injured reserve, and backup Tyler Huntley is on IR too. That one play may have ended his season.

There's another issue that deserves attention: his contract.

Jackson's five-year extension, signed in 2023, runs through the 2027 season. It reportedly includes a no-trade clause and a no-tag clause, so Baltimore can't use the franchise tag on him when it expires.

That means 2028 could become a very interesting offseason if the two sides can't agree on an extension.

Could Lamar eventually leave Baltimore? Absolutely.

Is there any confirmation that he's leaving? No.

But the possibility of a future separation is something Baltimore can't ignore. If this organization keeps deteriorating, the questions around its franchise quarterback are only going to get louder. And suddenly the future of the Ravens looks a lot less certain than it did a few months ago.

Jacksonville Jaguars: This Team Is for Real

While Baltimore searches for answers, Jacksonville is putting together the kind of season that should have the rest of the AFC paying attention.

The Jaguars improved to 6-2 and have won five of their last six.

They aren't just winning football games. They're doing it with a balanced roster.

Trevor Lawrence went 16 of 26 for 242 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions. Jacksonville's defense held Henry to 3.4 yards a carry, sacked Fagnano once (Foyesade Oluokun led the team with seven tackles and the sack) and forced three turnovers.

The Jaguars outgained Baltimore 319-227. Baltimore did run for 172 yards, but 65 of them came on one Justice Hill run with the score 33-3.

This is what makes Jacksonville dangerous. It isn't dependent on one player or one side of the football. The offense can move the ball, the defense can create turnovers, and the kicker can score from distances most teams wouldn't even consider trying.

Jacksonville has the look of a legitimate AFC contender. See how the roster lines up on the Jaguars depth chart.

Parker Washington: From Overlooked to a Big-Time Weapon

One of the more interesting developments in Jacksonville has been the emergence of Parker Washington.

Not long ago, Washington was hardly a household name. Now he's becoming one of Lawrence's most dangerous options.

He caught two passes for 61 yards Thursday, including a 50-yard touchdown with 58 seconds left in the first half that pushed the lead to 17-3.

He's becoming a legitimate weapon, and Jacksonville benefits from having another receiver defenses have to account for. Tight end Nate Boerkircher also had two catches for 61 yards, including a 52-yarder.

For fantasy managers, Washington deserves a lot more attention. He's an intriguing option in standard leagues and particularly in DFS tournaments, where big-play potential matters. Find his price on the NFL DFS value board.

Cam Little: When Your Kicker Can Score From Another Zip Code

And then there's Jacksonville's kicking game.

Cam Little already owns the NFL record for the longest field goal, an unbelievable 68-yarder against the Raiders last season.

Think about that. Sixty-eight yards!

That's not just a kicker. That's another offensive weapon.

Little went 4 for 4 on Thursday, from 36, 45, 47 and 33 yards, and added three extra points for 15 points. That's more than Baltimore's whole team.

Having a kicker who can make those attempts changes the way a coaching staff approaches the game. Drives that end in a punt for other teams turn into three points for Jacksonville.

It's another advantage for a team that seems to be doing everything right.

AFC Standings: Two Franchises Heading in Different Directions

AFC South

Jacksonville has a 3.5-game lead in the division. The Jaguars are firmly in control and set up for a serious postseason run.

AFC North

Baltimore is now last in the division, trailing three teams and dealing with an increasingly complicated quarterback situation. The Ravens went from a preseason championship contender to a team that may need to rethink its entire roster strategy. The full picture is on our NFL standings.

FantasyDailies: Fantasy, DFS and Betting Takeaways

Thursday night gave fantasy managers some important information. Every number is in the full box score.

Jacksonville

Trevor Lawrence: 16 of 26, 242 yards, one touchdown, no interceptions. His growing confidence and Jacksonville's balance make him an appealing fantasy option.
Parker Washington: two catches, 61 yards and a 50-yard touchdown. An emerging receiver worth monitoring.
Jakobi Meyers: four catches for 65 yards on six targets. A dependable receiving option.
Bhayshul Tuten: a 1-yard touchdown run, but just 29 yards on 12 carries. The touchdown saved his night.
Chris Rodriguez Jr.: a 2-yard touchdown run on 10 carries for 19 yards. Goal-line work makes him a DFS value to watch.
Cam Little: four field goals and 15 points. A kicker with real long-distance scoring potential.
Jaguars defense: two interceptions, a fumble recovery, a sack and 10 points allowed.

Baltimore

Derrick Henry: 17 carries for 57 yards. The volume is still valuable, but the offense around him is a major concern.
Justice Hill: nine carries for 85 yards and a 65-yard touchdown, Baltimore's only offensive highlight of the second half.
Zay Flowers: three catches for six yards on six targets, after a catchless night in Buffalo. A disappointing stretch.
Mark Andrews: two catches for 19 yards. Hard to trust until the quarterback situation stabilizes.

Betting takeaway: Jacksonville closed at -10 on our board and won by 23, and the 43 combined points cleared the 39.5 total. See how our pick did. Balanced offenses are hard to defend: Baltimore's inability to throw let the Jaguars load up on Henry and dictate the game. Run the rematch yourself in the game simulator.

Final Thoughts: The Jaguars Are Climbing While the Ravens Fall Apart

Two very different stories came out of Thursday night.

Jacksonville looks like a franchise that has finally figured out how to put the pieces together. Lawrence is developing, Washington is emerging, the defense is playing well, and Cam Little gives the Jaguars a real advantage in the kicking game.

Baltimore looks like a franchise that needs to start asking some uncomfortable questions.

Is Jacoby Brissett really the answer? How much longer can the organization depend on Derrick Henry? And what happens if Lamar Jackson's future in Baltimore becomes uncertain?

The Ravens might be better off admitting this season isn't going where they expected and starting to make decisions for the future. Bringing in another veteran quarterback doesn't automatically fix a broken football team.

And when the Browns have a better record than you, the problems are officially bigger than one bad Thursday night.
