00:02 >> A statement on Sunday night in Duval County, 23 to 7.
00:08 The victory for the Ravens over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Jacksonville.
00:13 The flock, Donnie, covering as a three and a half point road favorite.
00:17 They clinched their playoff berth at this moment, 11 and
00:20 three for Baltimore in that first place position in the AFC playoff picture.
00:26 >> Big time win for the Baltimore Ravens.
00:27 As we were saying how tough their schedule is down the stretch here.
00:30 That was one of those big games you had to win with the team that absolutely
00:33 needed it being the Jacksonville Jaguars.
00:34 A lot of pressure on them from behind now, also from the Houston Texans.
00:38 But let's get back to the Ravens and what they do well.
00:40 This is the type of football games they're supposed to win though.
00:43 23 to 7, lower scoring.
00:45 Give me Lamar Jackson making the plays from the pocket when needed, but
00:48 also being a rusher.
00:49 12 carries for 97 yards, but also getting the punch behind him.
00:52 Because if you include him in the rushing numbers, Ben,
00:55 42 carries for 251 in one touchdown and play good defense, which they did.
00:59 Only giving up seven points on that long pass play by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
01:03 But if I'm being honest with myself, and
01:05 I brought this up at the beginning of the show.
01:07 I saw the score, I went to bed at halftime, 10 to nothing.
01:09 I said I think the Ravens will win it, woke up, saw the 23, 7.
01:11 I'm like, man, that is a big impressive performance by then.
01:14 The next thing I see was an Adam Schefter tweet that Keaton Mitchell,
01:18 nine carries, 73 yards, severed a knee injury in the fourth quarter.
01:21 It's probably gonna be out for the year.
01:23 These are the guys that we were banking on here.
01:25 Not particularly with Keaton Mitchell, but before that, JK Dobbins.
01:28 The more explosive running back, cuz I love Gus Edwards.
01:31 He is that tank in the middle that when you get into the red zone, or
01:34 you need that third and three to be converted on the ground,
01:36 he can give that to you.
01:37 But Keaton Mitchell gave you that home run threat where,
01:40 if you're not paying attention on a read option, he can go the distance.
01:43 Another game, we had a long carry of 24 yards.
01:46 He continued to do that.
01:47 Anything above 15 yards, he was getting that each and every game.
01:50 Now that he sits out, and we're plotting offense,
01:52 that was a devastating blow to the Ravens for me.
01:55 >> Yeah.
