- Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Baltimore Ravens 33-10 on Thursday night at M&T Bank Stadium to improve to 6-2, surpassing 30 points for a third straight game and fifth time this season; it was their third consecutive game played in rain.
- Joe Fagnano completed 10 of 18 passes for 60 yards with two interceptions in his first start, and Baltimore's offense looked overmatched despite using Derrick Henry in the Wildcat while Tyler Huntley and Lamar Jackson were injured.
- Baltimore Ravens fell to 4-5 with a fourth straight loss and a third straight defeat by at least 20 points, the first such streak in the franchise's 31-year history; they were also held under 14 points for a fourth straight game for the first time.
- Lamar Jackson was placed on injured reserve Thursday for a right thumb injury and will miss at least the next three games; Baltimore was expected to finalize a trade for veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett this weekend.
- Parker Washington ran a 50-yard catch for a touchdown, Jacksonville's 11th offensive touchdown of at least 20 yards and an NFL high, but his punt-return production remained minimal at 3.5 yards on eight returns entering the game and just one 11-yard return Thursday.
- Zay Flowers was held to three catches for six yards and no catches in the previous game, after totaling 40 catches for 608 yards in his first seven weeks as Fagnano failed to stretch the field.
- Baltimore Ravens lead the NFL with 24 false starts and committed three in the first half by Ronnie Stanley, Mark Andrews and Ja'Kobi Lane, after recording 19 across all of last season.
Why it matters: Baltimore loses starting quarterback Lamar Jackson for at least three games with his right-thumb injury, with rookie Joe Fagnano pressed into action. The Ravens enter their Nov. 16 matchup with the Chargers carrying a four-game losing streak, three straight 20-point defeats and four straight games under 14 points scored.
