We’re looking at ten Jacksonville Jaguars to watch when they face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 15 on NBC’s Sunday Night Football
The Ravens are 10-3 among the four teams that can clinch postseason berths in Week 15.
Baltimore visits the Jacksonville Jaguars (8-5) on Sunday night in what could be a potential playoff preview.
Jacksonville will look to rebound after suffering their second loss in six days, as quarterback Trevor Lawrence finished 28 of 50 for 257 yards and three interceptions.
With preparation underway for both teams, here are 10 Jaguars to watch for in Week 15.
The Jaguars will have one of their stars against the Bengals.
The Cincinnati Bengals and Jacksonville Jaguars are both dealing with some injuries to key players going into the Monday night game, but Travis Etienne Jr. is expected to suit up for the prime-time game.
He has been practicing but has been limited for most of the week for the Jaguars, and there has been no official word yet on his status but expect to see him on the field after the extra day of rest.
Etienne has rushed for 726 yards and seven touchdowns this season, adding 36 receptions for 312 yards and a touchdown.
The Bengals have not been very good against the run this year, giving up 139.6 yards on the ground per game, which is 29th in the NFL in front of only the Cardinals, Jets and Broncos, so Etienne could cause issues for them if he is at full strength by the time the game comes around.
If he isn’t able to play, rookie Tank Bigsby and D’Ernest Johnson would likely share the load in the game.
