JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Its probably the most important game in Gus Bradleys coaching career.Coming off a 38-14 loss at San Diego and being 0-2 for the third time in four years, Bradley is seemingly down to just a few chances to turn things around in Jacksonville.The first one comes at home against Baltimore (2-0) on Sunday.Its about us this week and how we come back and how do we handle getting punched in the mouth, and how do we respond to play at a high level, said Bradley, whose 12-38 record in four seasons is the second worst in NFL history for anyone who has coached at least 50 games.The Jaguars believe last weeks lackluster effort on the West Coast was a fluke, and that the way they played against Green Bay in a 27-23 loss in the opener was more indicative of what kind of team theyve assembled. Now, they need to prove it.We had a pretty sound, realistic group of guys that believes in themselves, believes in one another, and understands that when we play well and do well like were supposed to do, well be fine and well execute and well move the ball, quarterback Blake Bortles said. We just havent done that in back-to-back weeks.The Ravens have done enough in two weeks to be among the leagues undefeated teams. They edged Buffalo in the opener and then overcame a 20-0 deficit to win at Cleveland last week. They have a chance to start 3-0 for the third time in franchise history.Resilient. We are a resilient team, able to face all opposition and shortcomings, veteran receiver Steve Smith said. It was an ugly win, but we pulled through.The Jaguars have been involved in plenty of ugly losses since starting to overhaul the roster in 2013. But this season was supposed to be different. Owner Shad Khan said a winning record is everyones reasonable expectation, and general manager Dave Caldwell said before the opener that we can match up with virtually almost anybody. Our guys just have to perform to a high level.It didnt happen against the Chargers, frustrating players, coaches and fans, and raising speculation about Bradleys job security.Bradley said all the right things this week: calling the blowout an aberration and vowing to get back on track against the Ravens.We went out there and thought we were going to play better than we did and we didnt play as well, Bradley said. We have to come back and get that right.Here are some other things to know about the Ravens and Jaguars:TOTAL RECALL: The Ravens havent forgotten about last years controversial loss to Jacksonville. The NFL acknowledged that officials failed to penalize the Jaguars for not being set on the next-to-last play of the game. After the ball was snapped, Ravens linebacker Elvis Dumervil grabbed Bortles facemask while making a tackle and Jacksonville got one more play with no time left on the clock. Jason Myers 53-yard field goal gave the Jaguars a 22-20 victory.You know, I dont really ever forget that game, coach John Harbaugh said. It doesnt have to be spurred. Thats always been kind of on my mind.RUN FOR COVER: The Ravens have found no room to run the football. Baltimore is averaging a mere 3 yards per carry. Justin Forsett and Terrance West are sharing the workload for the 23rd-ranked rushing game. Its a work in progress, Pro Bowl guard Marshal Yanda said. Were 2-0, but we definitely need to get the run game going. All three Ravens touchdowns this season have come on passes from Joe Flacco to Mike Wallace.DEFENDING A-ROB: Allen Robinson has just nine catches for 126 yards and no touchdowns, a big reason Jacksonvilles offense has sputtered. Teams are putting a safety over the top of him, even when hes lined up alone on one side of the formation. The Jaguars plan to move him around against the Ravens, hoping to get him freed up more.AT THE TOP: Baltimore owns the top-ranked pass defense in the NFL. That might not mean much after Week 2, but its significant because of the change the backfield experienced during the offseason. Safety Eric Weddle signed as a free agent and has one of the teams two interceptions. Lardarius Webb has made the transition from cornerback to free safety, and cornerback Shareece Wright had 11 tackles in the opener.IVORY RETURNS: Jacksonvilles run game, which ranks 30th, should get a boost with the return of Chris Ivory. A 1,000-yard rusher with the New York Jets last season, Ivory missed the first two games with a general medical condition that required a hospital stay.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Rick Barry Jersey . Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. Golden State Warriors Jerseys . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web. https://www.warriorsrookiesshop.com/Stephen-Curry-City-Edition-Jersey/ . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. Omari Spellman Warriors Jersey . After dropping their final six games of December, the Wild opened the new calendar year with four consecutive wins. Following a loss to Colorado on Saturday, Minnesota rebounded the following night to blank Nashville 4-0, but then had the tables turned on them Tuesday. Wilt Chamberlain Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. SALT LAKE CITY -- There were plenty of points left on the field when Utah and BYU earned season-opening wins last week and both coaching staffs want to see that corrected this time around.Only one will be satisfied after the two rivals meet on Saturday.BYU pulled off an 18-16 win over Arizona and things dont get any easier this week. The Utes were the lone Power 5 team in the country to pitch a shutout last week and they bring a defensive line that should be among the best in the country.There were a few missed assignments and a few dropped balls and stuff like that that killed drives where we really could have shifted the momentum, BYU quarterback Taysom Hill said. There were a few penalties that caused the same thing, that killed drives and if we dont have those mistakes it wouldnt have been close. I think those are the things that offensively we need to clean up.Hill threw for 202 yards and a touchdown in his first game back from a season-ending foot injury.Utah also struggled to finish drives in a 24-0 win against Southern Utah. The Utes missed a field goal at the end of a 12-play drive and lost a fumble that killed an eight-play drive on the verge of the red zone. They were also eight of 17 on third down conversions.Utah Quarterback Troy Williams threw for 272 yards and two touchdowns in his first start after transferring from Santa Monica College.We want to make a statement this year, Williams said. Knowing we were last in the Pac-12 last year passing the ball, so we want to make a huge statement this year and show everybody we have the guys that can do it and were going to continue to put the ball in the air and make plays. A lot more execution. Try to score more points, for sure. Finish our drives. Thats the main point.Things to watch when Utah hosts BYU:HELP WANTED: The BYU receivers have to provide some help for Hill and running back Jamaal Williams, who ran for 162 yards against Arizona.dddddddddddd. BYU has waited for 6-foot-6 speedster Nick Kurtz to shine since he arrived in 2014. This would be a good week for him, Jonah Trinnaman, Colby Pearson, Mitchell Juergens and Moroni Laulu-Pututau to have a big night. The Utes have a veteran secondary highlighted by first-team All-Pac-12 safety Marcus Williams.RUNNING UTES: Joe Williams is the starter, but that may not last long. Williams was considered the heir apparent to Devontae Booker, but he was unspectacular after Booker was hurt in 2015 and the senior managed just 49 yards and a fumble on 12 attempts against Southern Utah. Troy McCormick could steal the job with a second consecutive strong outing.ENCORE: Defensive improvements have been expected since BYU hired defensive-minded coach Kalani Sitake, but the season opener exceeded those expectations. The Cougars held coach Rich Rodriguezs offense to just 16 points and 328 yards.You give up 120-something (rushing) yards to Arizona and youre doing backflips, BYU defensive coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaki said. Ive been on teams where weve given up 300-plus against those guys. Definitely pleased with the way that they played.LAST TIME: The two teams took two years off from playing in the regular season to the dismay of fans. They met, however, in the Las Vegas Bowl at the end of last season and the Utes held on for a 35-28 win after jumping out to a 35-0 lead. Utah has won five straight against BYU.AVAILABILITY UPDATE: Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said cornerback Dominique Hatfield, who missed last game with a leg injury, was progressing, but didnt confirm if he would play.---AP college football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Kareem Copeland on Twitter: www.twitter.com/KareemCopeland ' ' '
