Jaguars-Ravens 'TNF' takeaways: Gritty Jacksonville exploits shorthanded Baltimore

With Lamar Jackson out and Joe Fagnano under center for the Baltimore Ravens, the Jacksonville Jaguars cruised to an easy win on the "Thursday Night Football" stage. 

The Jaguars beat the Ravens 33-10, doing enough on offense and dominating defensively against their undermanned opponent. And even more important than how Trevor Lawrence played, the Jaguars defense put up their best performance of the season. 

Not only did they keep the Ravens out of the end zone until the final minutes of the game, but they held Baltimore to just 227 yards all game and created three turnovers thanks to a pair of interceptions and a fumble recovery. 

Key takeaway: Baltimore is in serious trouble without Lamar Jackson 

Fagnano endured a miserable outing in his first NFL start after coming in on Sunday due to injuries in front of him on the depth chart. He completed 10-of-18 but for only 60 yards while tossing a pair of costly picks. Fagnano left the night with a pedestrian quarterback rating of 22.7. 

And while it's not really fair to blame an undrafted rookie out of UConn for not being ready to lead any team to success right away, it's difficult to imagine Baltimore having a shot with Fagnano or even the recently acquired veteran option of Jacoby Brissett. 

On one hand, Jackson hasn't been announced as out for the season. However, he was placed on injured reserve and will have to miss at least four games. Now 4-5, the Ravens could fall way too far out of the AFC North race and for a wild-card spot.
