Instant takeaways from the Baltimore Ravens' drama-filled loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Baltimore Ravens did the best they could with a rookie leading the way on offense, as Joe Fagnano got the start due to the injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley.
Fagnano was not the worst, but being a rookie and stepping in on short notice for a high-powered offense is something that would rattle most.
Here are five takeaways from the Ravens losing 33-10 to the Jaguars.
Derrick Henry Makes History
Running back Derrick Henry has once again made NFL history, this time passing both LaDainian Tomlinson and Jerome Bettis to move into seventh all-time in rushing yards.

Henry continues to play at a high level, despite being one of the oldest at his position. With Fagnano being inexperienced, the veteran took many snaps in the Wild Cat formation, which worked only somewhat.
Ravens Penalties Continue to Halt Drives
At halftime, the Ravens had already committed five penalties for 31 yards. Nnamdi Madubuike was called for a neutral zone infraction that led to the Jaguars picking up a first down when the team was facing a 4th-and-4.
There were also three false starts on offense in the first half, which is something that can't happen when relying on a rookie passer. Baltimore needed to play even more disciplined ball, which did not happen.
Joe Fagnano Never Settles In
There was some hope that rookie quarterback Joe Fagnano would be able to run the Baltimore offense, but that was not the case. Initially, Declan Doyle called multiple Wild Cat plays that utilized Henry well.
That was then moved away from in lieu of Fagnano trying to make plays through the air. He was not successful, as he could not get the ball moving in the rain.
Fagnano also threw two coslty interceptions that led to points for the Jaguars. The rookie ended his night with 10-for-18 attempts, 60 yards, and two interceptions.
Turnovers Cause Madness
On top of the interceptions from Fagnano, the Ravens coughed up the ball late in the fourth quarter, giving the Jaguars excellent field position.
The Ravens needed to play mistake-free football to give themselves a chance with a rookie starter under center. That was not the case at all, and Jacksonville took full advantage of that fact.
Ravens Defense Fails to Step Up Again
Kyle Hamilton spoke about the team needing to play with a certain level of passion, which has seemingly been absent for weeks. It isn't just the fourth-quarter collapses, but the totality of the defense not being able to stop big plays.
The Jaguars' offense rifled off a quick touchdown in under four minutes, which got things rolling in their favor early on.
Baltimore also lost Hamilton to a hip injury in the fourth quarter, which watered down the unit even more.
The Ravens have an easy schedule moving into their bye, and the addition of Jacoby Brissett may bring some veteran balance to the offense that desperately needs it.
