The Jacksonville Jaguars take a 5–2 record to Baltimore on Thursday, November 5, for a scheduled meeting with a Ravens team trying to end a three-game losing streak. Both clubs list kickoff at 8:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at M&T Bank Stadium. The Week 9 game had not begun when Northgate checked the official previews on Thursday morning.
Jacksonville arrives after beating the Indianapolis Colts 42–7 on Sunday, November 1, a result marked final on its official game page. Baltimore enters at 4–4 after a 36–10 loss at Buffalo that same Sunday. The Ravens’ preview says Jacksonville has won four of its last five games, setting up a contest between teams whose recent results point in different directions.
The Jaguars’ latest win combined efficient passing with a productive running game. In its November 4 review, the club reported that Trevor Lawrence completed 10 of 14 passes for 210 yards and three touchdowns against Indianapolis. Running back Bhayshul Tuten contributed 159 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 18 touches. Those are completed Week 8 performances, rather than projections for Baltimore.
Baltimore’s own pregame figures identify two established sources of offensive production. Derrick Henry has 632 rushing yards this season, while Zay Flowers has 608 receiving yards. Jacksonville’s team analyst Bucky Brooks singled out both players in his November 4 preview as threats the visiting defense must account for. That is a tactical assessment from the Jaguars’ publication, not a statement of Baltimore’s announced play calls.
For Jacksonville, the practical test is whether its combination of passing efficiency and rushing production can travel. For Baltimore, ending the losing sequence matters more immediately than the historical record. Northgate’s assessment is that these recent performances supply useful points of comparison, but neither a large win nor a large defeat against a different opponent establishes how Thursday’s game will unfold.
The longer series offers another perspective. Jacksonville leads 13–11, according to the clubs’ previews, while Baltimore has won two of their last three meetings. The Jaguars last played in Baltimore in 2020, when the Ravens won 40–14. That older result describes the history of the matchup; it does not measure the current teams.
The Jaguars list Amazon Prime and local FOX30 coverage, and Baltimore lists Prime Video.
