Jaguars rout Ravens to take sole control of AFC South

The Jaguars beat Baltimore 33-10 Thursday night at M&T Bank Stadium in Week 9. Trevor Lawrence also threw for 242 yards and a touchdown, and a career rushing record fell on the other sideline. Ravens rookie Joe Fagnano, making his first career start, went 10-of-18 for 60 yards with two second-half interceptions. Read more: Jaguars rout Ravens to take sole control of AFC South

So the win pushed Jacksonville to 6-2, alone atop the AFC South. Houston sits at 2-5, Indianapolis at 2-6 and Tennessee at 1-7, each at least three and a half games back. In fact, it was the Jaguars' fifth win in six games and their fourth win this season by 23 points or more.

Jacksonville needed only one possession to set the tone. The Jaguars drove 77 yards to open the game. They scored on a 1-yard run by Bhayshul Tuten for a 7-0 lead. Lawrence then found Parker Washington for a 50-yard touchdown with 58 seconds left in the second quarter. That made it 17-3 at halftime. “That opening drive was huge, just to set the tone. That's important, to be able to go get points right away,” Lawrence said.

Henry passes into the top seven

But Derrick Henry gave Baltimore its one real highlight, and it had nothing to do with the scoreboard. He passed Jerome Bettis for eighth on the NFL's all-time rushing list in the first quarter. Then, on a 5-yard run in the second, he passed LaDainian Tomlinson for seventh. Henry carried 17 times for 57 yards in the game itself. Still, the milestone was about his career total, not the box score from this game. He passed Tomlinson's career mark of 13,684 yards. Curtis Martin is next, sixth on the list at 14,101.

Henry also lined up in the Wildcat and threw a pass. It was part of a Ravens offense built around trick plays, with both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley out hurt. Jackson injured the thumb on his throwing hand in Baltimore's loss at Buffalo. So he needs surgery that coach Jesse Minter said could end his season.

That left Fagnano, 25, directing an offense that managed only 227 total yards. Baltimore fell to 4-5 with its fourth straight loss. It was the Ravens' third straight loss by at least 20 points. That's the first time it's happened in franchise history.

Hill's long touchdown run

But Justice Hill supplied the only sign of life. He broke loose for a 65-yard touchdown run with 7:15 left. It was Baltimore's first touchdown after halftime since Week 5. Hill finished with 85 yards on nine carries, more than anyone else on the field.

Baltimore turned the ball over three times, with two interceptions and a lost fumble on a kick return. That fumble set up a Jaguars touchdown. Jacksonville turned the ball over once, when Baltimore recovered a Travis Hunter fumble.

Then the home crowd booed when the Ravens turned the ball over on downs in the third quarter. Baltimore was still trailing by 17 at the time. “They have every right to boo or do whatever they want to do,” tight end Mark Andrews said afterward. “You got to be there for your brother, and that's what we're going to do. Keep it in house and continue to fight for one another.”
