The Jacksonville Jaguars are still in control of their destiny in terms of winning the division and making the playoffs, but it won’t be easy.
They’ll have to take down the Baltimore Ravens to pull it off.
And while the Ravens have looked vulnerable at times — like they did last week with the Los Angeles Rams — they’ve also been a steamroller at times.
With that in mind, NFL analyst Steve Palazzolo stated that the Jaguars will need Trevor Lawrence to play at an elite level to have a chance to win this game.

Palazzolo stated that Lawrence has had a couple of games in which it seems like he’s purposely trying to make difficult throws into tight windows, adding that he needs to play with that kind of recklessness and aggressiveness to have a chance to beat the Ravens.
The Ravens have been borderline perfect in most of their wins, but they’ve also left the door wide open for late-game comebacks in every single one of their losses.
The Jaguars have had a tough time getting into a rhythm, and they tend to start slow before heating up in the second half, so that’s a worrisome trend for John Harbaugh’s team.
Lawrence has proven to be capable of making every possible throw he can think of, regardless of the degree of difficulty.
Then again, judging by the way the Jaguars have fared against actual Super Bowl contenders this season, it wouldn’t be shocking to see them lay an egg again.
