Derrick Henry led the Ravens' offense with 73 rushing yards, providing a powerful ground presence that kept the Jaguars' defense on its heels. Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence of the Jaguars threw for 183 yards, but struggled to find the end zone, as his team couldn't capitalize on scoring opportunities. Jeremiah Smith emerged as the top receiver for Jacksonville with 59 receiving yards, but it wasn't enough to spark a comeback. Defensively, the Ravens were a force to be reckoned with, highlighted by Roquan Smith's 10 total tackles and Marlon Humphrey's key interception that halted a Jacksonville drive. The turning point came in the fourth quarter when Humphrey's interception set up a crucial Ravens touchdown, allowing them to pull away and ultimately secure the win. Trey Hendrickson also contributed with a half-sack, showcasing Baltimore's ability to pressure the quarterback throughout the game.
