Watch: Jags safety Josh Jones get a pick on first drive vs. Ravens

The Jags’ defense started Week 15’s game off with a bang, snagging a pick from Lamar Jackson on the first drive.

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ defense came into Week 15’s game against the Baltimore Ravens knowing they would have to have a good day — and that reflected in the first drive. The unit was able to stop Lamar Jackson and company as they were threatening to put up points thanks to a pick from veteran safety Josh Jones.

At the 11:55 second mark of the first quarter, Jackson attempted to hit receiver Marquise Brown in the end zone, however, the pass was slightly underthrown and Jones stepped right in front of him to snag it. He was able to take it from the Jags’ 2-yard line to their 30, however, an illegal block penalty by fellow safety Jarrod Wilson put the Jags back at their 1-yard line.

Unfortunately, the Jags’ offense wasn’t able to capitalize on the opportunity.

In the drive that followed, Gardner Minshew II took a safety to give the Ravens the lead by a score of 2-0. During the next drive, the Ravens offense came away with a touchdown courtesy of receiver Miles Boykin to put the score at 9-0.

Jaguars vs. Ravens: Week 15 staff picks and predictions

The Jags Wire staff isn’t all that confident that Minshew Mania will give the Jags the spark they need Week 15.

The one-win Jacksonville Jaguars will find themselves taking on another team with the playoffs in their sights as they travel north to take on the Baltimore Ravens. Clearly, when looking at both teams, there is a talent gap, and as a result, many have taken the Ravens to win — and quite convincingly.

This week at Jags Wire, we pretty much agreed with most of the national pundits as none of our writers were bold enough to take the Jags for a win. Here are our thoughts and predictions heading into Week 15’s game:

*Update: Calais Campbell was listed among the Ravens’ Week 15 in actives. 

James Johnson (@Sportsgrind_Don): Ravens 31, Jaguars 20

It’s as simple as this for me, the Ravens have one of the easier three-game stretches fans will see as they try and move up one seed for a playoff spot. Of course, the Jags are apart of that stretch, as are the Cincinnati Bengals and New York Giants.

Simply put, they likely view the Jags as a team in their way and are focused on taking care of business Sunday. However, the game won’t come without a fight, especially with the team having six defensive backs on the final injury report. Two of them are Marcus Peters (calf/ questionable) and Jimmy Smith (was ruled out for ribs and shoulder injuries), so Minshew might have some success in his return.

Phil Smith (@PhiltheFilipino): Ravens 27, Jaguars 10

The 1-12 Jags take on the quarterback Jay and I were very vocal about wanting back in 2018. They also face off against former Jaguars Calais Campbell and Yannick Ngakoue. Baltimore still has very real playoff aspirations and I don’t expect them to allow a one-win team to stand in their way. Minshew Mania makes its return, but I believe it’s in for a rude awakening. Don’t expect any kind of upset in this instance. 

Daniel Griffis (@DanDGriffis): Ravens 31, Jaguars 20

Minshew Mania is back in full force as Jacksonville faces off against the Baltimore Ravens. Minshew gave the Jags a much-needed spark last weekend and the team looked noticeably better as a result. The question is, will Minshew’s return be enough to get Jacksonville its second win of the season. Against a formidable Baltimore team with Calais Campbell and Yannick Ngakoue at defensive end on defense, it’s tough to see that happening. Ravens take this one.

Robert Ricks (@rrickswriting): Ravens 31, Jaguars 16

The Jaguars will have another tough task against the toughest run offenses in the NFL. Unfortunately, the Jags rank near the bottom of the league in rush defense. Lamar Jackson should have a field day on the ground. 

Will Frost (@willfrost_): Ravens 34, Jaguars 13

The Jaguars opened as 13 point underdogs in this one, and frankly, that feels a bit kind. Lamar Jackson has a game under his belt after recovering from COVID-19 and the Jaguars provide the perfect tonic for the reigning MVP to return to game-breaking form.

The Jaguars may be serious about considering Doug Marrone staying on for 2021 because the team “plays opponents hard,” but it’s going to take every ounce this roster has to remain competitive in this one.

Jacob DeLawrence (@_Jdela): Ravens 35, Jaguars 21

The Jaguars head north to face the Baltimore Ravens this week and it will be a reunion of sorts as two key members of the Sacksonville defense (Calais Campbell and Yannick Ngakoue) will take on their former team. The Jags are coming off of a beat down courtesy of the Titans and the Ravens are starting to look like they did last year. On paper, this looks to be a disaster for the Jags but this team has proved that despite their record they’re one of the more difficult teams to beat. Expect another solid performance from James Robinson as he continues his rookie of the year campaign. Still, the Jags will fall to the Ravens Sunday.

Jags punter Logan Cooke ruled out vs. Ravens with an illness

The Jags will be without a punter Sunday against the Ravens as Logan Cooke missed their trip to Baltimore due to an illness.

The Jacksonville Jaguars ruled just one player out on their final injury report from Friday in cornerback Sidney Jones, but one more player will be joining him. That player is punter Logan Cooke, who didn’t travel with the Jags to Baltimore due to an illness.

Initially, the Jags announced that cook was ruled questionable early Saturday night, then listed him as questionable not too soon afterward.

The Jags don’t have a backup punter listed for emergency purposes on their depth chart, so it’s unknown as to whom will take over for Cooke Sunday. It’s possible kicker Aldrick Rosas will handle all of the kicking duties against the Ravens, while Gardner Minshew II or Mike Glennon could be the holder for the Jags on extra-point attempts and field goals.

Cooke has been a good special teams player for the Jags this year, averaging 47.6 yards per punt in 2020. He’s pinned teams within the 10-yard line or less 11 times this season, which is a total that is good for second in the league.

Update on the spread, money line, and over/ under for Jags vs. Ravens

The Jacksonville Jaguars were 13.5-point underdogs when we previewed the spread earlier this week, but with about 16 hours remaining before kickoff, the spread is now a full point lower (12.5). The change comes as the Ravens had a pretty big injury …

The Jacksonville Jaguars were 13.5-point underdogs when we previewed the spread earlier this week, but with about 16 hours remaining before kickoff, the spread is now a full point lower (12.5). The change comes as the Ravens had a pretty big injury report with starting cornerback Jimmy Smith being ruled out alongside five other defensive backs, all of whom are questionable.

The money line also changed from +575 to +550, which means a $100 wager on the Jags would win a bettor $550, which is still a nice chunk of change. As for the over/under, it also shifted going from 52.5 to 47.5.

Sunday’s game will be the Jags and Ravens’ 22nd meeting. The Jags currently lead the series with a 12-9 record. However, the Ravens own the better record at M&T Bank Stadium as they are 6-5 against the Jags there. Unfortunately for Baltimore, that success doesn’t include their last home game against the Jags, which took place in 2015 and resulted in a 22-20 win for Jacksonville.

CB Sidney Jones the lone player to surface on Jags’ final injury report for Week 15

The Jags had one lone player on their Week 15 injury report and that was starting CB Sidney Jones, which could be a big deal.

The Jacksonville Jaguars only had one player to surface on their final injury report for Week 15, but it was an important one. That player was starting cornerback Sidney Jones IV, who is still dealing with an Achilles injury.

Jones’ listing on the injury report puts the Jags in a tough spot at cornerback. They are already without starter C.J. Henderson, who went on injured reserve last month. They also placed Tre Herndon on their Reserve/COVID-19 list and practice squad cornerback Josh Nurse went on the list today.

As of now, the Jags could end up with three rookies as their top-2 cornerbacks for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens in Luq Barcoo and Josiah Scott. Barcoo has started on the outside and could do so again, while the Jags could probably go with Scott, who has played in five games, in the nickel. They also have corners Greg Mabin and Brandon Rusnak on the active roster and have Quenton Meeks and Nathan Meadors on their practice squad.

Luckily for the Jags, their lack of cornerbacks could have a minimal impact as the Ravens are ranked 32nd in passing. Then again, it feels like the veteran experience of a receiver like Willie Snead IV and the speed of Marquise Brown could provide issues for a very young group.
