The Ravens played a close contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.  Unfortunately, the defense folded in the closing minutes of regulation and the offense gave up a costly fumble in overtime, which cost them the game.  The Ravens remain in first place in the AFC North, though the lead is only one game over both the Steelers and the Bengals.

- Early in the second quarter, the Ravens drove the field and were able to place the ball first and goal, but a couple of costly negative plays created a 3rd and goal from the 19 yard line, which they were unable to convert.  Kicker Justin Tucker was called upon for the 36 yard field goal, but his plant foot slipped on the turf and the kick narrowly missed wide right.  That field goal ended up being very costly in the final outcome.

- The Ravens were able to complete a 78-yard drive in the middle of the fourth quarter, capped by a 44-yard touchdown pass to running back Justin Forsett.  The score gave the Ravens a narrow 21-20 lead.

- Safety Eric Weddle was able to intercept a tipped pass on the subsequent drive, giving the ball to the Ravens on the Jacksonville 47 yard line.  Justin Forsett ran the ball for a 5-yard touchdown run, and the Ravens had a 28-20 lead with 1:45 left on the clock.

- Cornerback Doran Grant was called for a quesitonable pass interference call on the ensuing drive.  This extended the drive and, on the next play, WR Allen Robinson made a 1-handed catch in the end zone.  He also caught the 2-point conversion.

- The Ravens recieved the ball in overtime.  On the second play of the drive, Joe Flacco was hit in the pocket and fumbled the ball, giving the Jags the ball on the 20-yard line.
