Tonight’s “Sunday Night Football” matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars features two teams trending in different directions in the final month of the 2023 season.
While the 10-3 Ravens barrel toward the AFC’s No. 1 seed with a three-game winning streak, the Jaguars have lost two consecutive close matchups after an 8-3 start to the season. Jacksonville still has a hold on AFC South, but a loss could hurt the team’s chances to secure a home playoff game with the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts in the hunt for the division behind them.
The Ravens’ and Jaguars’ respective passing attacks and secondaries could be on full display tonight for very different reasons. Baltimore has allowed the fourth-fewest passing yards and fewest passing touchdowns this season, compared with Jacksonville’s 31st-ranked pass defense. The Ravens don’t throw the ball nearly as often as the Jaguars do, but they may be able to exploit a soft Jacksonville defense in a game that could all-but decide the AFC North.
Veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has turned it on at the end of the season for the Ravens after a lackluster start to the year. He’s caught 11 receptions for 247 yards and one touchdown during Baltimore’s winning streak. Fellow wideout Calvin Ridley has been a bit better statistically than OBJ, but just as inconsistent: He’s caught 13 passes over the past three weeks but only for 168 yards and one touchdown.
