Despite top scorer Burrow, Jacksonville JAGUARS fall to Baltimore Ravens in 259.18-147.54 rout

Jacksonville JAGUARS had the No. 1 scorer in the matchup with QB Joe Burrow racking up 30.54 points, the eighth-highest total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to defeat Baltimore Ravens, who rolled to a 259.18-147.54 victory. Jacksonville JAGUARS grabbed a 0.54-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Baltimore Ravens after that. They were led by Tyler Higbee (5 Rec, 54 Rec Yds, 3 Rec TDs) and Julian Edelman (8 Rec, 179 Rec Yds). Joe Burrow (316 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 19 Rush Yds) and Younghoe Koo (4-4 FG, 42 long, 3-3 XP) did everything they could for Jacksonville JAGUARS in the loss. Baltimore Ravens (2-0) will look to sustain their winning ways against Houston Texans, while Jacksonville JAGUARS (0-2) face Washington 🏈 Team in an effort to develop some positive momentum.

Coach Talk

Baltimore Ravens
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we double up Jacksonville JAGUARS at WR (68.2 points to 33.1), we also tripled them at RB (58.4 to 19).
Jacksonville JAGUARS
It's entirely possible that Jacksonville JAGUARS would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 22 total targets this past week, their six starting pass-catchers (four WR, two TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
