BALTIMORE — Quarterback Lamar Jackson and backup Tyler “Snoop” Huntley officially went on injured reserve for the first time in their careers Thursday. A few hours later, the Ravens got a taste of life without them.

It was even more rancid than expected.

With undrafted rookie quarterback Joe Fagnano making his first NFL start — with his injured right ankle ensconced in a sizable brace — Baltimore crossed midfield just three times all night against the Jacksonville Jaguars and had three first downs in the second half in a 33-10 loss.

It was the fourth straight defeat for the Ravens (4-5), who remain in last place in the AFC North and whose season appears to be quickly circling the drain.

Reinforcements are en route, with Baltimore trading with the Arizona Cardinals for veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, but it remains to be seen how much he can lift the offense.

On this night, the Ravens never had much of a chance.

The Jaguars (6-2) had won just once at M&T Bank Stadium since 1999, and that was in 2015, when the game appeared to be over before Elvis Dumervil was flagged for a facemask on Blake Bortles, allowing Jacksonville to kick the game-winning field goal.

This one was over not long after it started.

Like wounded prey, and with an already struggling Ravens secondary missing top cornerback Nate Wiggins (stinger/illness), the Jaguars attacked immediately. On the game’s second play, quarterback Trevor Lawrence faked a handoff, rolled right and launched a 52-yard strike to rookie tight end Nick Boerkircher, who somehow got behind the entire Baltimore defense and, more specifically, cornerback Marlon Humphrey.

Five plays later, running back Bhayshul Tuten plunged in from a yard out to take the lead, 7-0.

Ravens kicker Jake Moody, who made his debut after Tyler Loop was placed on injured reserve, responded with a 53-yard field goal on the next series, but that was as close as Baltimore would get.

Fagnano was just the eighth rookie quarterback since 1950 to make his first career start on just three days’ rest, and his inexperience and inability to move the offense showed.

The Ravens managed just 101 yards on 30 plays in the first half. Only 25 of them came through the air, with Fagnano completing 7 of 11 passes for 30 yards and running back Derrick Henry completing the other to wide receiver Zay Flowers for minus-3. The second half wasn’t much better.

Overall, Fagnano completed 10 of 18 passes for 60 yards, was intercepted twice, and was hit four times and sacked once.

With little experience at quarterback, Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle tried whatever he could.

Henry took 10 direct snaps. On one of them, he flipped the ball to Fagnano to pass. On another, he flipped the ball to Flowers (three catches for 6 yards) on a jet sweep that gained at least 7 yards. Henry also completed a pass to Flowers, but it went backward 3 yards.

Tight end Mark Andrews also took two direct snaps. He was stuffed on third down on one of them and fumbled the ball on fourth down on another.

Facing the league’s No. 2 scoring defense and top-ranked unit against the run, the Ravens were 4-for-14 on third down and had just 227 total yards.

By midway through the third quarter, with the Jaguars comfortably ahead, a listless crowd with little to cheer for had started to empty out amid the soggy weather and even soggier performance.

The Ravens came into the week having allowed the most points in the NFL over the past two games with 71, and it didn’t take long for the Jaguars to pile on.

With Jacksonville already up 10-3 with just under two minutes remaining in the first half and the ball on their own 20, wide receiver Jakobi Meyers hauled in an 18-yard pass on the first play of the series. Then, on a first-and-15 after a false start, tight end Brenton Strange tucked in among three defenders for 16 yards and another first down.

Two plays later, with the Ravens blitzing, receiver Parker Washington juked safety Malaki Starks over the middle, caught Lawrence’s pass in stride after a bobble and raced untouched 50 yards for the touchdown. Lawrence finished 16 for 26 for 242 yards.

Jaguars kicker Cam Little added three more field goals in the third and fourth quarters before running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. added a 1-yard touchdown run.

Penalties were also again a problem for Baltimore, which was flagged seven times for 46 yards.

The only bright spots for the Ravens came in the running game. Henry (57 yards) moved to seventh on the NFL’s all-time rushing list, surpassing Jerome Bettis and LaDainian Tomlinson. Justice Hill added a 65-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter.

The Ravens will now have 10 days off before facing the winless Los Angeles Chargers on “Monday Night Football” on Nov. 16.
