Baltimore Ravens Recent Scores: Backup of Backup
Baltimore has four wins this season, but is currently on a three-game skid. In Week 7 against the Bengals, they led 13-0 at halftime, with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley leading the charge. But Joe Burrow and the Bengals turned it around in the second half. Burrow completed 16 of 18 passes for 249 yards and four touchdowns.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson was back in Week 8 after missing three weeks. He lasted exactly one snap when Buffalo’s Greg Rousseau hit Jackson’s throwing hand as he released an incomplete pass. Jackson requires thumb surgery and is expected to miss the season.

Jaguars vs Ravens History: Cleveland to Baltimore
Both teams entered the NFL around the same time. The Jaguars debuted as an expansion team in 1995, and the Ravens relocated from Cleveland in 1996.
The Jaguars have a slight lead in the series, 13-11-0. They have not met in the postseason.
Jaguars vs Ravens Prediction: Hot and Healthy
Lamar Jackson is out indefinitely, while backup Tyler Huntley is out with a toe injury. The Ravens need to figure out their quarterback lineup on a short week. They will have support from Derrick Henry and the defense, but that’s only one side of the ball.
Jacksonville’s defense has been strong and stingy in every game except against the Texans in Week 6 in London. Apparently, they don’t travel well. Trevor Lawrence has 1,690 yards and 17 touchdowns, and Bhayshul Tuten has a productive running game. The Jaguars are healthy and hot. Don’t bet against them.
Our Jaguars vs Ravens prediction is another big win for Jacksonville, 32-14. Does anyone else think that Lamar Jackson should play for Jacksonville? Remember to follow us on social media to stay tuned this NFL season.
