Ravens make unwanted NFL history in 33-10 loss to Jaguars

Joe Fagnano had a chance to make a little history Thursday night as QB1 for the Baltimore Ravens. The former UConn Huskies quarterback entered his first NFL start with a chance to end a long jinx.

A win would make him the first quarterback from the program to win an NFL game as a starter in nearly 15 full years. The last person to do so? Dan Orlovsky did it with the Indianapolis Colts in 2011. Orlovsky led Indianapolis to victories over the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans that December. Let's say that unfortunate streak will have to continue a little longer.

Fagnano and the Ravens had a tough night, and the rookie's difficult debut as a starter ended with 10 completions on 18 attempts for 60 yards. He threw zero touchdown passes, two interceptions, and notched a 22.7 passer rating.

The Jacksonville Jaguars handed the Ravens a 33-10 defeat. Baltimore's losing streak stretches to four games. The loss offered plenty to examine beyond the final score, including some unusual personnel usage and a few trends that should concern Baltimore moving forward.

Derrick Henry had an unusual night under center

Derrick Henry has been used in the Wildcat formation before, but Thursday night's workload was something else. Per Ryan Mink, via Pro Football Focus, he entered the game with eight Wildcat snaps this season and added 10 more against Jacksonville. Per PFF, Henry had never taken more than five snaps at quarterback in a game before this season, with that previous career high dating back to 2018.

Another amusing detail: Henry has thrown more career touchdown passes than Baltimore's current quarterback room combined. That's not exactly the kind of statistical distinction an offense wants to advertise, but it speaks to how unusual the Ravens' quarterback situation has become. With Jackson and Huntley unavailable, Baltimore has had to get creative, even if asking its star running back to take on more quarterback responsibilities isn't a sustainable solution

The Ravens made franchise history for all the wrong reasons

The 33-10 defeat extended a particularly ugly offensive trend. Baltimore has now been held below 14 points in four consecutive games. Jamison Hensley reports that's the first time that has happened in franchise history. That's a remarkable distinction for an organization that has traditionally built its identity around physical football and an offense that can control games.

The penalty situation has become just as concerning. Baltimore committed three false starts in the first half and finished with four against Jacksonville. That brings the Ravens' season total to an NFL-worst 24. As Hensley also reports, they have already surpassed the 19 false starts they committed across all 17 games in 2025.

Ravens find themselves on the wrong end of a Liam Coen benchmark

Andrew Whitworth revealed on the Prime Video Postgame Show that the Jaguars have now scored 702 points in 25 games under head coach Liam Coen, and that only two head coaches, Mike Martz and Sean McVay, reached that scoring benchmark faster.

That's an impressive milestone for a coach who has helped transform Jacksonville's offensive identity. The Jaguars have found ways to generate points consistently, and Thursday's performance showed how difficult they can be to contain when Lawrence and Coen are operating comfortably.

For Baltimore, the benchmark is another reminder of the offensive firepower it must contend with in the AFC. Jacksonville isn't simply enjoying one productive afternoon. Its scoring output under Coen reflects sustained offensive production that makes the Jaguars a difficult matchup for opposing defenses.

Kyle Hamilton continues adding to his defensive legacy

Even in another disappointing Ravens performance, Kyle Hamilton continued demonstrating why he's considered one of the NFL's most versatile defensive players. His ability to line up in different roles and affect plays near the line of scrimmage separates him from most safeties.

According to PFF, Hamilton leads all NFL safeties in tackles for loss or no gain this season with 10. Jalen Ramsey is second with seven, followed by Cooper DeJean with six and Tykee Smith with five.

That versatility is particularly valuable for a defense dealing with injuries and inconsistent performances elsewhere. Hamilton can contribute against the run, pressure the quarterback, and work in coverage, giving Baltimore a defender capable of filling multiple responsibilities.

He left this one with an injury, and the Ravens will certainly hope he can get back on the field as quickly as possible. His continued production is one of the few dependable positives the Ravens can take from an otherwise miserable stretch.
