Jake Moody wasted little time making his case in Baltimore.
In Thursday night’s home matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Ravens turned to the former third-round pick for his first NFL game since last January, and Moody answered with a 53-yard field goal midway through the first quarter to get Baltimore on the board.
The kick matters even more with Tyler Loop now on injured reserve, leaving head coach Jesse Minter to lean on Moody’s leg. Baltimore is also working through a new quarterback situation in the same prime-time game, with undrafted third-stringer Joe Fagnano already dealing with major limitations. That puts even more weight on every scoring chance, especially if the Ravens are going to have to live off long field goals.
Baltimore still has Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers available, but without Lamar Jackson, the offense is only going to go so far. And even when Jacoby Brissett is taking snaps under center, points are not going to come easy.

For Moody, this is another reset. The 26-year-old joined Baltimore’s practice squad at the end of August and is trying to put his struggles in San Francisco behind him. He has also had time with the Chicago Bears and Washington Commanders, but he still hasn’t fully rebuilt the trust he had when he entered the league in 2023.
For now, though, the Ravens have one clear answer on the scoreboard. The 53-yard field goal was their only points at the time of print.

Ravens Slump Has Fans Fighting Over What Loyalty Should Look Like
A rough stretch has put Ravens fans in a familiar but uncomfortable spot, trying to balance loyalty with frustration as the losses pile up and the injuries keep mounting. The emotional investment around this team has always run deep, but when the results turn, that passion can quickly harden into criticism, and the conversation shifts from what the Ravens are doing on the field to what their supporters owe them in return.
The latest debate has only sharpened that divide, with some inside the organization openly questioning fan behavior while others push back at the idea that frustration means abandoning the team. Baltimore has lived through enough difficult seasons to know the relationship between the Ravens and their crowd is usually a strength, not a problem, but this slump has exposed how fragile that bond can feel when expectations collide with reality.

Marlon Humphrey Is Fueling A Ravens Debate Fans Cant Ignore
Marlon Humphrey has been a fixture in the Ravens secondary for years, but this season has brought a different kind of conversation around one of the teams most recognizable defenders. The issue is not his rsum or his standing in the locker room, but the way opposing offenses have found success against him in key moments, turning every rough snap into another reminder that Baltimores back end has not looked as steady as it needs to be.
For a team built around contending now, that kind of decline creates an uncomfortable question about what comes next. Humphreys future is no longer just about whether he can rebound from a difficult stretch, but whether the Ravens can afford to keep waiting for that turnaround when the secondary needs more reliability. The debate is already out there, and it is only getting louder as the season moves along. [Read more 🡒]
Ravens Pass Protection Problem Looks Worse Than One Return Could Fix
Vega Ioanes return was supposed to steady a Baltimore offensive line that had been searching for answers, but Week 9 showed how much deeper the issue runs. In Joe Fagnanos first career start, the protection broke down often enough to put the offense behind the chains and leave the Ravens still looking for a reliable formula up front.
The trouble was especially noticeable in the middle, where the interior group never quite settled into a rhythm and the communication looked shaky at key moments. Ioane pointed to consistency and pre-snap penalties as lingering problems, which is a reminder that one healthy body coming back is not enough if the larger breakdowns keep showing up snap after snap.
