If you live on the West Coast of the United States and woke up at 6:30 a.m. on a Sunday to watch the Jacksonville Jaguars play the Baltimore Ravens, then you have a compulsive gambling problem and should seek professional help immediately. For those of you on the East Coast or in the United Kingdom, though, the game offered a nice treat of early football -- at least, it would have, if the game had been the slightest bit competitive. The Jaguars jumped out to a 20-0 lead midway through the second quarter and never looked back, eventually going up by 44 points before the Ravens added a garbage-time touchdown to make the final score 44-7. Those 44 points were very unusual for Jacksonville, but we'll get to Blake Bortles and the Jaguars offense later. For now we're going to concentrate on the Ravens' seven points -- or rather, the zero points they scored when Joe Flacco was still in the game.

Make no mistake, the Jaguars defense put Flacco through some serious anarchy in the U.K. We documented the destruction in quasi-real time in Audibles at the Line, but when it was all said and done, we also said it was not likely to be found in the list of the worst games of all time. I even noted it might not even be the worst game of the week. And, as it turns out, it wasn't.

That might be hard to comprehend for those of you who watched the game. If you missed it, let's go ahead and break down Flacco's performance, one drive at a time:

Flacco throws an incomplete pass on second down and takes a sack on third down. Ravens go three-and-out.

Flacco throws incomplete on third-and-2. Ravens go three-and-out.

Flacco throws incomplete on first down, takes a sack on third down. Ravens go three-and-out.

Flacco throws incomplete on second and third down. Ravens go three-and-out.

Flacco is intercepted by A.J. Bouye on first-and-10.

A first down! Flacco hits Benjamin Watson for 4 yards on second-and-3, his first completion of the day. Jacksonville was already up by 20 points. Then Flacco hits Javorius Allen for no gain on first down and throws incomplete on third down, and the Ravens punt.

Flacco throws on three straight plays. The results: 3-yard gain, incomplete, 1-yard gain. Ravens go three-and-out.

Terrance West runs for 10 yards and a first down, but two plays later Flacco is intercepted by Jalen Ramsey. Drive only lasts three plays, but not technically a three-and-out.

Alex Collins runs for 16 yards a first down, and the Ravens get another first down on a Jacksonville penalty, but then Baltimore commits two penalties of their own to set up a first-and-30. Flacco throws a pair of short completions and the Ravens punt on fourth-and-11. Flacco's official numbers on the drive: 3-of-3 for 17 yards. This was Flacco's best and last drive of the day before Ryan Mallett came in to finish things up. It came with the Ravens down 37-0 late in the third quarter.

This led to a final statline of 8-of-18 for 28 yards with no touchdowns, two interceptions, and two sacks. You're probably thinking we misplaced a decimal or something in there, but no, that is complete. Twenty dropbacks. Twenty-eight yards. Between completions and defensive pass interference penalties there were 53 passing plays this week that gained that many yards in a single snap. T.Y. Hilton had three of them by himself.

Clearly, this is a terrible game on any level. Flacco only threw for the one first down. He did not convert a third down, going 2-of-5 for 8 yards, plus two sacks, a net -4 yards on seven dropbacks. He did not throw a pass in the red zone; in fact, he did not throw a pass on Jacksonville's side of the 50-yard line. Though he was horrendous throwing to either side, he was at his worst up the middle: 2-of-6 for 3 yards with an interception. Of all the splits and data though, this may be the most amazing: thirty of Flacco's 28 passing yards came after the catch. Read that last sentence again. Now read it again. That is not a mistake -- Flacco's average completion was caught a quarter of a yard behind the line of scrimmage. His deepest completion was caught only 3 yards downfield; he went 0-for-7 with two picks on anything deeper than that.

Clearly, we don't need to show any more evidence that this was a terrible game. It's time to start explaining why it was not one of the worst games of all time. In fact, by DYAR, not only was it not among the worst of all time, it was not even the worst of the week, and it would not have been the worst of Week 1 or Week 2 in this season either. First of all, compared to some other games at the bottom of the quarterback barrel, Flacco had a modicum of ball security, "only" throwing two interceptions, with no fumbles. More importantly Flacco only had 20 dropbacks, which limited his opportunities to rack up terrible plays. His DVOA this week was -155.8%, worse than Andy Dalton's -145.3% in Week 1, DeShone Kizer's -110.7% in Week 2, or Cam Newton's -116.6% in Week 3. In this light the Ravens might really have saved Flacco from the history books. Given another quarter to embarrass himself, he might well have sunk to depths we have never seen on an NFL field before.

What Flacco did do was become the latest member of an obscure club, a club so obscure it didn't even exist until I gathered the data Sunday night. With 28 yards and 18 official passes, Flacco officially averaged 1.6 yards per pass. According to Pro Football Reference, that makes Flacco just the 16th quarterback to average fewer than 2 yards per pass while throwing at least two interceptions and giving up at least two sacks since sacks became an official statistic in 1982. The good news for Flacco is that the last quarterback to put up a "2/2/2" game was a former Super Bowl champion, like Flacco, who went on to win his second ring that very same season: Peyton Manning, who threw four interceptions in a half against Kansas City in 2015 before being benched for Brock Osweiler. Manning's father Archie and brother Eli are also in the 2/2/2 club, as are Jim Harbaugh, Flacco's coach's brother, and Terry Bradshaw, the only member of the club whose bust is presently in Canton. Anthony Wright and Quincy Carter joined the club in back-to-back years for Dallas. Wright's game was on Christmas Day -- talk about a lump of coal in your stocking. If you're the type of fan who longs for the good old days of the NFL, I'd like to point out there were three 2/2/2 performances in the 1985 season -- one of them by Randall Cunningham in his rookie season, before Buddy Ryan was his coach. Todd Collins is the only player with two 2/2/2s, and also the only player to put one up in a win. (The Bears ran for 218 yards that day, and the defense collected three interceptions and five sacks of their own.)

By NFL passer rating, Flacco had one of the best days of this group, thanks to all those empty-calorie completions. Not surprisingly, ten of the 16 had "perfect" passer ratings of 0.0. Twelve played for teams that scored 14 points or less, ten for teams that scored seven or less, and five were shut out.

[ad placeholder 4]

This is not a group you want to be a part of, and for the sake of Flacco and the Baltimore fans, we hope he never enters the clubhouse again. But it shows that Flacco's game in England, as bad as it was, was hardly unprecedented, and certainly not the worst we've ever seen.

DYAR Opp 1. Case Keenum MIN 25/33 369 3 0 0 232 222 9 TB Defenses around the League of National Football, heed this warning! Fear this well-traveled vagabond of the gridiron, fear him! For he is Case of Clan Keenum, and he shall bring doom from the heavens down upon thee! Keenum threw 10 deep passes (balls that traveled more than 16 yards past the line of scrimmage) against Tampa Bay, completing seven of them for 221 yards and two touchdowns. Mind you, he was effective on the short stuff (passes that traveled less than 6 yards downfield) too, going 15-of-17 for 107 yards. In between, he was "only" 3-of-6 for 41 yards. 2. Jared Goff LARM 22/28 292 3 0 0 219 219 0 SF Yes, the top two quarterbacks this week were both on a Rams team last year that finished last in offensive DVOA and in points scored. Perhaps the players were never the problem in Los Angeles. Goff's last pass of the game was incomplete, but otherwise he was close to perfect in the second half. In the third and fourth quarters, he went 11-of-12 for 155 yards and two touchdowns with a 13th throw resulting in a DPI for 8 more yards. Goff's field position splits were also remarkable. Within his own 25, he went just 2-of-6 for 7 yards. From that position forward, he went 20-of-22 for 285 yards, plus that DPI. 3. Kirk Cousins WAS 25/30 365 3 0 1 186 193 -6 OAK Cousins got a lot of help from his receivers. His average completion was caught 4.9 yards past the line of scrimmage, fifth-lowest among starters this week. However, his average completion gained 9.7 yards after the catch, better than any other passer by 2 full yards. 4. Blake Bortles JAC 20/31 244 4 0 0 174 174 0 BAL You know what's really amazing about this? It could easily have been worse for Baltimore. Bortles was far from perfect in the red zone, going just 4-of-9 for 32 yards and three scores. There's a reason Jason Myers kicked a pair of field goals from inside the 20. And on third downs, Bortles was just 3-of-7 for 26 yards and only two conversions. The Jaguars left plenty of points on the field and still won by 37. 5. Russell Wilson SEA 30/49 373 4 0 1 135 125 10 TEN It was a streaky game for the sixth-year signal-caller. On Seattle's first six drives (all punts, five of them three-and-outs), he went 4-of-11 for 24 yards with one sack and a fumbled snap. Over their next five drives, he went 14-of-21 for 229 yards and three touchdowns. He followed that up by picking up first downs on four straight throws for 53 total yards, but then he switched back off. From that point forward, he went 7-of-12 for 67 yards with one touchdown, another fumbled snap, and a loss of 17 yards (!) on an intentional grounding penalty. 6. Marcus Mariota TEN 20/31 225 2 0 0 122 120 2 SEA Most of Mariota's action came in the first half, most of his production in the second. In the first and second quarters, he went 16-of-25 for 129 yards, with a 26th pass resulting in a 16-yard DPI, but the Titans scored only nine points. Then he threw only two passes in the third quarter: a 55-yard touchdown to Rishard Matthews, and a 24-yard touchdown to Jonnu Smith. (DeMarco Murray also had a 75-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.) And then Mariota barely threw the ball in the fourth quarter, going 2-of-4 for 17 yards. 7. Drew Brees NO 22/29 220 3 0 1 116 116 0 CAR Brees and his wide receivers had a big day, but he wasn't nearly as effective throwing to his backs and tight ends: 9-of-14 for just 63 yards. Only three of those completions were successful, and only two went for first downs. 8. Eli Manning NYG 35/47 366 3 2 0 116 116 0 PHI Manning has only thrown four touchdowns this season, and three of them came in a 5:21 stretch of this game. That was part of a fourth-quarter string where Manning completed 10 passes in a row, for a total of 174 yards. 9. Jacoby Brissett IND 17/24 259 1 0 3 103 92 11 CLE If this game is any indication, Brissett needs to never throw another short pass for the rest of 2017. He picked up just one first down throwing to receivers within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage (9-of-14 for 48 yards), but had eight on throws deeper than that (8-of-10 for 211 yards, plus a 34-yard DPI on an 11th throw). 10. Dak Prescott DAL 13/18 183 2 0 1 98 80 18 ARI 11. Tom Brady NE 25/35 378 5 0 5 83 80 3 HOU Yes, this is surprisingly low for a five-touchdown game, but Brady also fumbled three times on his five sacks. One of those was recovered and returned for a Houston touchdown. The Patriots recovered both of the others, one of which came two snaps before Brady hit Brandin Cooks for 25 yards and the winning score. On third downs, Brady went 9-of-10 for 133 yards, though three of those completions failed to pick up first downs. 12. Andy Dalton CIN 22/27 212 2 0 3 78 85 -8 GB You could hardly ask for more from Dalton when it came to getting his team out of bad field position. Within the Bengals' own 40-yard line, he went 13-of-13 for 140 yards, with a 14th throw resulting in a 6-yard DPI. Rk Player Team CP/AT Yds TD INT Sacks Total

DYAR Opp 13. Josh McCown NYJ 18/23 249 1 0 2 73 94 -21 MIA GABBERT WATCH UPDATE: Hey now, a good game! That's two straight weeks McCown has been above replacement level. If he keeps this up I'm going to have to find a new gimmick for his comments every week. As it is, he is now at -1,357 career passing DYAR, which puts him back in third place behind Ryan Leaf (-1,388) and Blaine Gabbert (-1,928). McCown's biggest play against Miami was a 69-yard touchdown to Robby Anderson that included 44 air yards and 25 YAC, but for most of the day McCown just took what the Miami defense gave him -- on throws to receivers within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage, he went 13-of-15 for 104 yards. 14. Carson Wentz PHI 21/31 181 1 0 3 73 66 6 NYG Wentz did not have a good day on third or fourth downs: 7-of-11 for 59 yards with only three conversions and a sack. That yardage total is inflated by a 12-yard gain on third-and-15 and a 13-yard gain on third-and-17. 15. Tyrod Taylor BUF 20/26 213 2 0 4 63 68 -6 DEN The key to beating Denver's defense might be the ability to exploit the few openings the Broncos give you for big plays. Taylor only threw three deep passes against Denver, but completed all of them, for gains of 25, 28, and 31 yards. 16. Deshaun Watson HOU 22/33 301 2 2 2 63 74 -11 NE Watson was sacked twice against New England, but the real question is how many sacks he avoided via breaking tackles in the backfield. We're awaiting word on that from Sports Info Solutions, but we do know that in the past two years, the most sacks avoided in a single game is three (twice by Tyrod Taylor). Given plays like this, it seems likely Watson surpassed that total. Hell, you could argue he surpassed it on that one play. That play also shows how effective Watson was throwing to his right: 10-of-11 for 135 yards. Watson's second interception, by the way, was a Hail Mary, and counts as a regular incompletion for DVOA/DYAR purposes. 17. Brian Hoyer SF 23/37 332 2 1 4 58 46 12 LARM Hoyer gained 142 yards on passes to the deep left area of the field, most of any player in a single game so far this year. He went 5-of-6 on those throws. Pierre Garcon was the target on five of them, but Kyle Juszczyk added a 34-yard gain on first-and-10 as well. 18. Jameis Winston TB 28/40 328 2 3 2 42 40 2 MIN Winston did not convert a third down until the Buccaneers were down 28-3 in the third quarter. On the day, he went 2-of-5 for 17 yards and a sack on third downs, plus a 15-yard gain on a DPI. 19. Matthew Stafford DET 25/45 264 1 0 2 41 34 7 ATL The last play got all the attention, but Stafford struggled in the red zone all day against Atlanta, going 3-of-8 for 17 yards and only one touchdown, plus an 18-yard DPI on third-and-10. He threw four passes from the 1-yard line (three at the end, plus one in the third quarter), with three incompletions and one complete for zero yards. 20. Carson Palmer ARI 29/48 325 2 0 6 26 25 1 DAL 21. Ryan Mallett BAL 6/9 36 1 0 0 24 24 0 JAC All of Mallett's throws came with Baltimore down by 44 points in the fourth quarter. None of his completions gained more than 8 yards. Yes, the Ravens averaged only 4.6 yards per catch in this game. We don't know if that's a record, but we know it's very bad. 22. Aaron Rodgers GB 28/42 313 3 1 6 8 5 3 CIN Rodgers threw seven deep balls (16 yards or further past the line of scrimmage) against Cincinnati, to seven different receivers. Four were caught for 181 total yards, and a fifth resulted in a 33-yard DPI. Rk Player Team CP/AT Yds TD INT Sacks Total

Ben Roethlisberger PIT 22/39 235 1 0 3 7 3 4 CHI On throws to people not named Antonio Brown, Roethlisberger went 12-of-25 for 125 yards and only four first downs, plus a 10-yard DPI on a 26th throw. 24. Alex Smith KC 16/21 155 2 0 5 7 4 3 LACH Smith had an excellent first quarter, then spent the rest of the game slowly whittling away at that value until it was almost all gone. In the first 15 minutes, he went 4-of-4 for 41 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Then he was sacked on each of his first three dropbacks in the second quarter, setting the tone for the rest of the day. He had three first downs in the first quarter, but only four after that. On third downs he went 6-of-6 for 49 yards, but only one conversion. He was also sacked three times. 25. Matt Ryan ATL 24/35 294 2 3 2 1 1 0 DET Ryan's biggest plays were a 27-yard completion to Tevin Coleman in the second quarter and a 40-yard touchdown to Taylor Gabriel in the fourth. Each of those passes was caught 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage, with the receiver getting all the yards and then some after the catch. On deep passes, Ryan went just 1-of-7 for 18 yards, with a 22-yard DPI on an eighth throw. 26. DeShone Kizer CLE 22/47 242 2 3 1 -49 -67 17 IND Kizer led the NFL with 13 deep passes this week, and now has 33 on the year, trailing only the 34 of Tom Brady. Those 13 deep passes resulted in three completions for 84 yards; one DPI for 16 yards; and nine incomplete passes. Two of those incompletions were intercepted, though one of those was a Hail Mary at the end of the game. 27. Jay Cutler MIA 26/44 220 1 1 3 -56 -61 5 NYJ Cutler threw for 13 first downs in this game, but 11 of them came after the Dolphins fell behind by 20 points late in the third quarter. That includes his one touchdown, which came on his last throw of the game. Before that 20-point deficit, Cutler went 8-of-17 for just 41 yards, with a sack. 28. Trevor Siemian DEN 24/40 259 0 2 3 -74 -74 0 BUF On six plays in the red zone, Siemian went 1-of-4 with two sacks; that one completion was a 5-yard gain on third-and-12. He also threw an interception from the Buffalo 24-yard line. 29. Philip Rivers LACH 20/40 237 0 3 2 -80 -80 0 KC Rivers threw two interceptions before he completed his first pass, and spent the rest of the day in catchup mode. He only threw five passes up the middle, completing three of them for 19 yards. 30. Mike Glennon CHI 15/22 101 1 1 2 -90 -80 -9 PIT Glennon only threw for four first downs all day. That's partly because nearly half of his "throws" were really long handoffs. Ten of his 22 passes were aimed at receivers at or behind the line of scrimmage. He completed eight of them for 44 yards. 31. Derek Carr OAK 19/31 118 1 2 4 -122 -127 4 WAS Carr's longest play was a 21-yard touchdown to Jared Cook in the third quarter. It was his only completion of the game that gained even 10 yards, and one of just five first downs he had on the day -- and two of those came with Oakland down by 17 points in the final minute of the game. He failed to convert any of his third- or fourth-down dropbacks, going 4-of-10 for 18 yards with an interception and two sacks. 32. Joe Flacco BAL 8/18 28 0 2 2 -180 -180 0 JAC You may have to open this video on YouTube to watch it. It's worth the trouble. Make sure your volume is turned up. 33. Cam Newton CAR 17/26 167 0 3 4 -193 -208 15 NO Near the end of the third quarter, Newton completed four straight passes for 88 yards, then scored on a 3-yard touchdown run. At that point the Panthers were only down 24-13 with more than 15 minutes to go, and victory was unlikely, but certainly possible. Then, in the fourth quarter, Newton went 3-of-6 for 22 yards with two interceptions and a fumble-sack before leaving the game with an injury. (His backup, Derek Anderson, went just 2-of-7 for 17 yards.) That fourth quarter by itself would have been bad enough to put Newton second-worst ahead of only Flacco this week.

Kareem Hunt KC 17 172 1 1/1 11 0 78 71 7 LACH Through three weeks Hunt has nearly twice as much rushing DYAR as any other player and also leads all running backs in receiving DYAR, and has opened a big lead at this early point in the MVP race. He was hit for no gain or a loss just twice against Los Angeles, while rushing for seven total first downs, including a pair of third-and-short conversions, plus runs of 10, 11, 11, 20, 20, and 69 yards. 3.

The good news is that he had 10 first downs on the ground, including seven runs of 10 yards or more. His three runs in overtime -- all on first-and-10, resulting in gains of 1 and 18 yards and then a 19-yard game-winning touchdown -- were nearly enough to get him into this top-five table by themselves. 3.
