Jags edge Ravens 28-27 on 2-pointer, Tucker's 67-yard miss
After Lawrence led the Jaguars (4-7) to the go-ahead TD and conversion, Jacksonville squibbed the kickoff and gave the Ravens (7-4) the ball near midfield — and not far from Tucker's range. Lamar Jackson found Josh Oliver in the flat for a 12-yard gain that set up Tucker's try. Baltimore held the Jags to 21 yards and one first down in the third and forced a fumble late in the quarter. But Lawrence and the Jaguars answered with a 14-play scoring drive, which ended with Lawrence’s 1-yard toss to Jamal Agnew. The Jaguars are at Detroit next Sunday, beginning a stretch in which they play four of five on the road.

The Colts looked more like the ones who should have been decked out in giant bow ties, face paint and colorful wigs and suspenders. With a playoff berth on the line, Indianapolis was a no-show on an 80-degree day in Jacksonville. The Colts end the season on a two-game skid when one victory would have put it in the postseason.

(AP Photo/Stephen B. Morton) (Stephen B. Morton)JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — (AP) — Trevor Lawrence’s professional debut opened with a sack and a fumble, hardly ideal but not too concerning for the Jacksonville Jaguars. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft rebounded, delivering a couple of impressive throws and somewhat salvaging his first preseason game — a 23-13 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Saturday night. Lawrence was taken down again on his second drive but responded with his best throw: a 35-yarder to Marvin Jones on third down. That one, however, came after Lawrence held the ball way longer than quarterbacks normally get away with in the NFL. Jaguars cornerback Tre Herndon left the game in the first quarter with a knee injury.

Nick Chubb all about the victory, not stats or spreads
Cleveland Browns running backs Nick Chubb (24) and Kareem Hunt (27) walk off the field after an NFL football game, Sunday, Nov. 15, 2020, in Cleveland. A win is a win; let Las Vegas worry about the margin of victory. It appeared there were actually 10 seconds left when down judge Dana McKenzie blew his whistle and raised his left hand. There actually should have been only 4 seconds left, which probably would have forced a Hail Mary by Stafford. But with 6 seconds left, Stafford had time for a quick pass, and he hit Marvin Jones for 9 yards.
