The Bad:

The Ravens had a 16-7 lead. All they needed to do was to keep adding to the lead. They didn’t need a great offense attacking on all cylinders. More than anything the Ravens just needed a functional offense. They simply didn’t have it. Flacco threw two interceptions. Flacco missed horribly throwing to some open receivers. The Ravens running game was non-existent. You’re looking at an offense that doesn’t have a problem. They have many problems.

The offensive line is getting man handled. Ronnie Stanley is going to go through some growing pains but veterans like Jeremy Zuttah and Marshall Yanda have to play better. The Ravens had every chance to walk away with an easy win. Turnovers and doing practically nothing on offense made this a heart pounding finish.

The bad thing about this game is that the Ravens did it to themselves. The Jaguars played an ugly game. There were three interceptions from Blake Bortles and this game went down to the wire. The Jaguars didn’t outplay the Ravens, the Ravens beat themselves. Somehow they did this without losing.
