Baltimore Ravens 'Looking Forward' to 'Big' Jacksonville Jaguars Game Says John Harbaugh

The Baltimore Ravens face fellow AFC contender, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and head coach John Harbaugh is excited for the challenge.

The Baltimore Ravens wasted no time in moving on from their 37-31 overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams, as Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars come into view.

Sunday night presents a chance for the Ravens to again lay down a marker in the AFC and given their schedule after Jacksonville, getting a win here is paramount.

Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh is under no illusions regarding how big this Jaguars game is.

“All eyes pointed to Sunday night against the Jaguars, big game for us, we’re looking forward to it,” Harbaugh said.

With the Jaguars 3-4 at home this season, one would think that the Ravens could feel confident coming into EverBank Stadium, but it isn't exactly Baltimore's happiest place to play football.

The Ravens are 3-8 all-time in Jacksonville which includes losing their last two, so that doesn't exactly instill confidence in what Baltimore can do.

For Harbaugh, when his team has traveled to Jacksonville, for whatever reason, they have struggled to play consistent football.

“For me, just the games we’ve played there of late that I remember, they’ve played better than us,” Harbaugh said. “We have not played our best games down there the last couple times.”

The Ravens will need to rectify their poor record against the Jaguars as their playoff seeding could depend on it.

With two tough games against the San Francisco 49ers and then the Miami Dolphins, while the Ravens occupy the No. 1 seed in the AFC right now, if things go south over the next few weeks, the playoff picture could look vastly different.

The Ravens have shown their playoff and Super Bowl credentials throughout the season, and what better way to further enhance them than to slay the Jaguars in their own building on national television?
