Baltimore Ravens: 5 Matchups to Watch vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
By Joe Serpico
The Baltimore Ravens travel to EverBank Field to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. Here are our five matchups to watch for this week.
It has not been championship caliber football, but the Baltimore Ravens are winning close games.
A year after losing eight games by eight or less points, the Ravens have squeaked out two wins by less than that margin to start the season. The competition has not been anything spectacular, but they are taking care of what the schedule makers dealt their way.
Things should start to heat up this week, even if the opponent is winless to start the year.
The Jacksonville Jaguars were a popular pick to win the AFC South, – they were selected during the NFL preview on our podcast BMore Wired – but have stumbled out of the gate. They held their own against the Green Bay Packers in Week 1, but were waxed on the road against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.
The Ravens remember well how the Jags stole a win in Baltimore last season. Blake Bortles got a free play with no time remaining and Elvis Dumervil was called for a face mask penalty that moved Jacksonville into field goal range. The Jags would nail the kick and steal another heartbreaking game from Baltimore.
John Harbaugh and the guys are looking to return the favor this season. Here are the five matchups to watch if the Ravens want revenge this week.
