Quick Summary

Joe Fagnano, an undrafted rookie quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, made his first NFL start on short notice due to injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. In the 33-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Fagnano completed only 10 of 18 passes for 60 yards with two interceptions. The game saw the Ravens rely heavily on running plays featuring Derrick Henry but struggled after halftime when Fagnano threw two more interceptions. The team is expected to add Jacoby Brissett before the trade deadline, likely pushing Fagnano back to the bench.

Story summary

The Baltimore Ravens suffered a significant defeat against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a 33-10 loss on Thursday Night Football. The game was marked by the Ravens' depleted quarterback situation: starting quarterback Lamar Jackson and backup Tyler Huntley were both out due to injuries, forcing rookie undrafted free agent Joe Fagnano into his first NFL start. This drastic change in circumstances saw the point spread shift dramatically from a field goal favorite for Baltimore to Jacksonville being favored by nearly 10 points. Trevor Lawrence led the Jaguars with 242 passing yards and a touchdown, while Fagnano struggled, throwing for only minimal gains and enduring pressure throughout his first career start. This loss extended the Ravens' losing streak to four games, severely impacting their playoff hopes as they continue to grapple with injuries in key positions.

That mostly worked until Trevor Lawrence connected for a 50-yard touchdown to Parker Washington to stretch Jacksonville’s lead to 17-3 shortly before halftime. “I thought the team was ready to play, and from a competitive standpoint, I really think the explosive play before the half really kind of broke the game open,” Minter said.
