The closest the Baltimore Ravens have come to getting blown out this season was an eight-point loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. John Harbaugh's team has been competitive in every game this year, and the Ravens have been outscored by just 30 points in their six losses this season. They will face the Jacksonville Jaguars at home on Sunday, but they sit at 2-6 on the season, owning wins over the rival Pittsburgh Steelers and San Diego Chargers.
Jaguars vs. Ravens 2015 live stream: Start time, TV schedule and how to watch online
Both the Ravens and Jaguars are 2-6 heading into Week 10. They’ll face each other in Baltimore on Sunday.
Both of their wins have been close as well, but losses to the San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns really stick out on the schedule. Harbaugh is adamant that his team has high expectations and that they can pull together with a strong second half to the season, but the Ravens can't expect to make the playoffs while dropping games like the one they played against the 49ers.
Baltimore has some tough games remaining on the schedule, but with another game against Cleveland, the St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs on the horizon, there's room for optimism. Of course, they also have rematches with the Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals, teams that are doing much better than Harbaugh's club. In other words, the Ravens can't afford to lose Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Gus Bradley remains a well-respected coach around the league and he has no louder supporters than the players he coaches, but the Jaguars are once again staring at a losing record with little to be excited about. Well, that’s not strictly true -- there are some exciting things happening on the offensive side of the ball for Jacksonville, but thus far it’s only translated into a 2-6 record.
The Jaguars rank just 16th in the league in total offense, but there are definitely some bright spots. Quarterback Blake Bortles has made significant progress and is looking more and more like the franchise quarterback the team wants him to be, and that has a lot to do with the success of his two young starting receivers.
Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns are both having excellent seasons. Robinson has caught 40 passes for 707 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 17.7 yards per catch. Hurns has caught 36 passes for 635 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 17.6 yards per catch. The two have been consistent, though the passing attack isn't quite as potent as advertised due to tight end Julius Thomas struggling with injuries -- Thomas has caught just 13 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown.
Jacksonville’s No. 16-ranked offense will be up against Baltimore’s No. 24-ranked defense. The Ravens aren’t great against the pass, allowing 283.9 passing yards per game, 29th in the league. They are much better against the run, where they rank 10th.
Jaguars rookie running back T.J. Yeldon leads the way for them on the ground, with 470 yards and a per-carry average of 4.1 yards. Yeldon struggled to start the season but has turned in a couple solid performances in his last few games. He should have his hands full against the Ravens on Sunday.
