Jaguars breeze past rudderless Ravens

Manila Times - Nov 6, 2026

WASHINGTON — Trevor Lawrence guided the Jacksonville Jaguars to a straightforward 33-10 victory Thursday (Friday in Manila) over a desperate Baltimore Ravens team forced to rely on its ailing third-string quarterback. Lawrence threw for 242 yards and a touchdown pass to Parker Washington, with Bhayshul Tuten running for a touchdown on the game’s first drive and fellow Jaguars back Chris Rodriguez Jr. sealing victory on a dismal rainy night for Baltimore fans. Deprived of their talismanic quarterback Lamar Jackson and his backup Tyler Huntley due to injuries, Baltimore handed a first L start to undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, who played with enormous heavy strapping on his own injured ankle throughout. Fagnano battled gamely but there was little he could do to prevent the slick Jaguars from moving to 6-2. Having now won 14 of their last 16 regular-season games, Jacksonville’s latest win further burnished their credentials as dark horses in the race for the L championship. “We’ve come together, I think we’ve got a great group that’s all on the same page. We all think similarly. A bunch of hard workers,” said Lawrence. “Everybody’s gelling ... You’re seeing it come to life.” The closing stages of a fourth straight loss for the Ravens — who sank to...

JRU beats Benilde, secures twice-to-beat advantage in quarterfinals

MANILA, Philippines — Jose Rizal University took the upper hand in a tight race on top of Group A with a crucial 85-79 victory over College of Saint Benilde despite the return of two-time NCAA Most Valuable Player Allen Liwag to the Blazers lineup on Friday in the NCAA Season 102 men’s basketball tournament  at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City. The Heavy Bombers finished the elims with a 10-3 record to assure themselves of placing in the top two spots of Group A and a twice-to-beat incentive in the quarterfinal round. St. Benilde, on the other hand, dropped to 8-4 but with one game left in their schedule, the Blazers have a chance to claim second place in Group A and the second quarterfinals incentive. Standing on the Blazers way are the Red Lions of San Beda who are currently in second place with a 9-3 record. They are slated to collide on the last day of the elimination round on Tuesday. A victory by the Blazers would give them the No. 2 spot by virtue of the winner-over-the-other rule while a loss would relegate them to third place.  However, a win by the Red Lions on Tuesday would catapult them to first place and relegate the Heavy Bombers to second place in Group A. Both of them, however, will have the twice-to-beat incentive against respective foes in the next round.  On Friday, JRU was led by Lawrence Mangubat who scored a game-high 27 points even as Sean Salvador and Jahmir Eligado added 16 points each. St. Benilde, on the other hand, was led by John Morales who scored 16 points.  Liwag, who returned after missing the first 11 games this season, scored only six points.
