 Approximately Week 15 of the 2023 NFL season is broken down by the NFL to provide you with all the information you need to know. 

Likely's synergy and Lamar's absurdity propel the Ravens to victory. A reminder of what it's like to have Lamar Jackson available for the postseason push was just given to Baltimore. For the first time since 2020, the former most valuable player was on fire on Sunday night. He hadn't played past Week 15. Although he only had 171 passing yards and one poor interception during the game, he was hardly flawless in the air; nonetheless, when the Ravens needed it, he often made highlight-reel runs or chain-moving throws that left opponents in his wake. With 97 yards of his own, Jackson led Baltimore's 251-yard rushing effort. He gave the play of the night his greatest arm and leg combination when he shrugged off a Dawuane Smoot sack and dropped deeper.

The hapless Jags have lost three straight games. Jacksonville appeared determined to lose this game. At one point, the Jaguars drove four straight drives to the Baltimore 36-yard line or beyond, but they ended up with a goose egg at halftime. Brandon McManus failed to make a kick on the first two of those possessions, while Trevor Lawrence botched the next two. Initially, Lawrence appeared to deceive himself while rushing into the red zone, misplacing the ball for Baltimore's Arthur Maulet to recover. The team quarterback mishandled the running clock following a 36-yard dime by choosing to throw a shotgun ball to rookie Parker instead of spiking during the subsequent drive, a two-minute drill that reached the Ravens' 5-yard line.

In Buffalo, we had a snowball game. Such an uneven outcome to a game between two relative powerhouses is uncommon. The fact that the Cowboys, a club that has scored 33 points or more in each of their last five games (all wins) and boasted an offence that seemed virtually unstoppable throughout that time, is what makes it even more shocking. However, things may spiral out of control and become out of hand when an offence like this finds it difficult to get going and then has to wait what seems like an eternity to try again. That's precisely what happened on Sunday, as the Bills nearly doubled the Cowboys in total yards, converted five of nine third-down tries, and finished with 266 rushing yards. They also dominated time of possession (35:05 to 24:55).
