Quick Summary

The Baltimore Ravens suffered a 33-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9, with third-string quarterback Joe Fagnano starting due to injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. Fagnano completed just 10 of 18 passes for 80 yards and threw two interceptions as the Ravens struggled in heavy rain conditions. The article emphasizes that Jacoby Brissett, who was recently signed from Arizona Cardinals, needs to quickly take over if the Ravens hope to have any playoff aspirations left this season.

🔮 It was clear Doyle was going to be creative, or as much as he possibly could, with Fagnano very green under center.
🔮 One year later, Belichick could, and should, be in the Hall of Fame Class of 2027, as the governing body announced that next step for him and four other coaches on Thursday.
🔮 It was widely expected that would be the case, though, as the official top 25 rankings for the playoffs were released on Tuesday night.
🔮 As a standout at Colorado, he had tremendous arm talent, but also possessed the speed and agility to be a "Hall of Fame wide receiver," which he said the Steelers told him he could be.
🔮 But the Bears, led by head coach Ben Johnson and quarterback Caleb Williams, don’t seem to care where their games are held each week.
🔮 But, while the Brewers relish their first-ever title, all 29 other MLB teams might be trying to rethink how to play the game itself after "Brewer Ball" took over this season.
🔮 On the ice, the Florida Panthers, Chicago Blackhawks and San Jose Sharks will debut their new threads on Monday night, while each club will wear their respective Hometown Remix uniforms several times throughout the remainder of the season.
🔮 Bill Belichick, the day his UNC Tar Heels were set to face the No. 1 Miami Hurricanes in Chapel Hill, was the center of more off-field noise regarding his relationship.
🔮 If Colorado was able to find the end zone on the ensuing possession, they would snap that losing streak and finally get that first conference win of the year.
🔮 It seems the Indianapolis Colts are indeed willing to talk about trading running back Jonathan Taylor after all.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. smashed it in for a touchdown in the fourth quarter that made it 33-3, and if it weren’t for Justice Hill’s 65-yard run on the ensuing drive, Baltimore likely wouldn’t have sniffed the end zone in a game they’ll look to forget and move on to next week.

Claims (18 extracted, 1 hedged)

It’s very rare we see moments in the NFL that feel like high school football, but Thursday night gave us that feeling in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 33-10 trounce of the Baltimore Ravens to kick off Week 9. asserted
night → ’ → Week
The Jaguars were heavily favored going into the game, as third-string quarterback Joe Fagnano, who took over as the team’s emergency signal caller last week following the injuries to both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley, got his first career start. asserted
who → favor → start
Yes, the Ravens traded for Jacoby Brissett when the Arizona Cardinals demoted him to third string earlier this week, but he wasn’t ready on a short week to take over Declan Doyle’s offense and compete. asserted
he → trade → offense
But, boy, does Brissett need to get right quickly if the Ravens have any hope of reaching the playoffs. asserted
Ravens → need → playoffs
That’s the biggest takeaway from this game, because the Jaguars didn’t really need to do all too much after scoring on their opening drive of the game. asserted
Jaguars → ’ → game
It was clear Doyle was going to be creative, or as much as he possibly could, with Fagnano very green under center. uncertain
Fagnano → go → center
However, Fagnano, despite being a fun story to begin a new week in the NFL, isn’t what the Ravens need after a devastating injury to the two-time MVP in Jackson and Huntley going down. asserted
Jackson → begin → MVP
Brissett is the only saving grace for a Ravens season that almost seems at the brink of disaster even though they only fell to 4-4 on the year. asserted
they → save → year
Fagnano was 10-of-18 passing for only 80 yards, as some heavy rain in Baltimore didn’t help the fact that Jacksonville was all over what the Ravens were trying to do in the first place. asserted
Ravens → pass → place
The ball was wet, leading to a few fumbles, while Fagnano couldn’t handle the pressure the Jaguars threw at him on his clear pass downs, leading to two interceptions. asserted
Jaguars → lead → interceptions
The body language on the Baltimore sideline was clear – it wasn’t going to be their night. asserted
it → go → sideline
Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars looked clean and poised coming off the bye week. asserted
Lawrence → look → week
Bhayshul Tuten, who was questionable entering the game due to injury, suited up and scored the first touchdown of the game. asserted
who → enter → game
Then, Lawrence found Parker Washington before the end of the first half on a 50-yard catch-and-run touchdown that almost felt like a kill shot after what we witnessed with the Ravens’ offense in half. asserted
we → find → half
At 17-3 to start the second half, Fagnano threw his first interception, followed by two punts, a turnover-on-downs, his second interception, and a fumble on the kickoff. asserted
Fagnano → start → kickoff
Chris Rodriguez Jr. smashed it in for a touchdown in the fourth quarter that made it 33-3, and if it weren’t for Justice Hill’s 65-yard run on the ensuing drive, Baltimore likely wouldn’t have sniffed the end zone in a game they’ll look to forget and move on to next week. asserted
they → smash → week
With a meeting against the lowly Los Angeles Chargers on "Monday Night Football" upcoming, Brissett has more than enough time to get acclimated. asserted
Brissett → have → time
Because for Ravens fans, that’s really the only thing to look forward to as they hope and pray his passing prowess can get them back to being a playoff team after losing their last four. asserted
prowess → ’ → four
