The Jacksonville Jaguars (2-11) will hope that their low-rated run defense will step up on Sunday afternoon when they face the top five rushing attack of the Baltimore Ravens (8-5). The Jaguars are currently near the bottom of the AFC standings, while the Ravens are in second place in the AFC North.
The Jaguars have now lost five out of their last six games after losing 27-13 to the Houston Texans last Sunday. Their offense struggled in that loss, finishing with just 262 total yards against Houston's defense.
Jacksonville currently has the lowest-scoring team in the NFL by averaging just 15.3 points per game against their opponents. Wide receiver Allen Hurns is one of their few offensive players who has had a good year, catching 40 passes for 566 yards and a team-high six touchdowns.
Last Sunday, the Ravens gave up just three second-half points to the Miami Dolphins and rolled to a 28-13 road victory. They had 183 rushing yards in that win while their defense was able to hold the Dolphins to just 249 total yards.
The Ravens have been able to average 27.4 points per game while only allowing 19.6 points per game. Their top offensive player has been quarterback Joe Flacco, who has thrown for 3,258 yards with 22 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Running back Justin Forsett has averaged 5.6 yards per carry this year for 1,080 yards and eight touchdowns.
