Jaguars vs. Ravens: 5 Pressing Questions on Week 15

The Jacksonville Jaguars will play host to the Baltimore Ravens this weekend, with the Jaguars having their last true shot at the No. 1 seed on the line.

To preview this week's big game, we spoke with Jeremy Brener of Raven Country to get their insight on the team the Jaguars are faced to do battle with.

1) How has Lamar Jackson grown and evolved in his new scheme?

It was a slow process at the beginning, and he struggled to start the season. However, he appears to be in more of a groove now that he has built chemistry with his receivers. Odell Beckham Jr. is having his best season since 2019 and Zay Flowers is emerging as a top target. And of course, Lamar has stayed healthy, which always gives the Ravens a shot to win the game.

2) How big of a potential loss is Kyle Hamilton?

Anytime you lose your third-leading tackler (behind Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen), it’s going to be a big loss. Should Hamilton not suit up with his knee injury, it will be Daryl Worley filling in. Worley has been on IR for most of the year, but returned last week against the Rams. He’s a veteran with a decent amount of experience, but the Ravens would be better with Hamilton out there.

3) What kind of trajectory is the Ravens' offense on right now?

The Ravens have the potential to be the top offense in the AFC. They control their own destiny and it seems like Lamar Jackson has the most weapons he’s ever had, even with Mark Andrews sidelined for the year with a knee injury. They scored 37 points against the Rams last week and are fourth in the NFL in points per game behind the Cowboys, Dolphins and 49ers. The Jags defense will definitely have their hands full when they face off against them.

4) Which Jaguar is seen as a player the Ravens must stop to win the game?

There are a couple options here, but Travis Etienne is always dangerous. When Etienne rushes for 50+ yards, the Jags are 8-1. They are 0-4 when he doesn’t, so if the Ravens front seven can limit him, they could very well win the game.

5) Score prediction?
