Opponent: Jacksonville (Fla.) CyclonesWhen: 7: 35Where: UMBC StadiumOutlook: The last-place Mania (1-7) has hung in there in all but one A-League game. This young team defends OK and is creating better but finishing is the problem. On the other hand, Atlantic Division-leading Cyclones (6-5) can score (23 goals, three four-goal games) but are porous in back, having yielded a dozen goals in their last five starts.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Let no one mistake what happened yesterday. The Ravens played their best defensive game ever, one of the best defensive games of this or any other NFL season.It wasn't enough.It's never enough with this team."For whatever reason, we are short by one thing," coach Brian Billick said after the Ravens' 6-3 loss to Jacksonville."Whether it's three points to Tennessee, three points to Pittsburgh, three points to Buffalo, three points to Jacksonville. I'd love to lose by four points.

1 Put pressure on quarterback Mark Brunell because the secondary can't handle receivers Jimmy Smith and Keenan McCardell.2 Establish the run because the Ravens don't have the offensive talent to come from behind or get in a shootout with Jacksonville.3 Stop multi-talented running back Fred Taylor, who is the key to Jacksonville's offense.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Ravens coach Brian Billick would not say whether A. J. Ofodile would start at tight end next week in Cincinnati, yet there was a definite changing of the guard at that position for the majority of yesterday's game.Aaron Pierce started his fourth straight contest, but Billick yanked him after Pierce lost a fumble at the Jacksonville Jaguars' 20 with 7: 21 left in the first half and the Ravens trailing 3-0.The play loomed huge in the 6-3 loss. It happened on a fourth-and-two.

The Ravens' biggest problem from Day One is just as glaring in Week 12.A team with no major offensive players took a painful lesson from one that is loaded, as the Jacksonville Jaguars scored 23 fourth-quarter points yesterday to defeat the upset-minded Ravens, 30-23, before 68,428 at PSINet Stadium.Jaguars receivers Jimmy Smith and Keenan McCardell, who have had some of their biggest days against the Ravens, combined for 18 catches, 234 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and quarterback Mark Brunell was a sizzling 11-for-14 in the fourth quarter for 107 yards.

T Leon Searcy vs. DE Rob BurnettTony Boselli gets the big money and most of the attention at left tackle, but Jacksonville right tackle Leon Searcy fills an equally critical role on the Jaguars' much-respected offensive line.Ravens left defensive end Rob Burnett is not short on respect for Searcy, against whom Burnett has competed since 1993. The way their individual battle plays out today could help determine if the Ravens can beat the Jaguars for the first time in team history.The Burnett-Searcy rivalry goes back to the days of the old Cleveland Browns, who drafted Burnett in the fifth round out of Syracuse in 1990.

After beating up on the junior varsity two days ago in Cleveland, the Ravens move into the elite class when they travel to Jacksonville on Sunday for a game against the AFC Central-leading Jaguars.The Ravens (3-5) are 2-0 against the expansion Cleveland Browns this season, but have not beaten Jacksonville (7-1) in six games, or even slowed the Jaguars' explosive offense, ranked ninth in the NFL.Defensive coordinator Marvin Lewis has gradually built the Ravens' defense into a top 10 unit during the four years the club has been in Baltimore, but he is constantly reminded about the team and individual records Jacksonville has established against his teams.

Opponent: Jacksonville CyclonesWhere: Jacksonville, Fla.When: 5: 30 p.m.Outlook: This is the second of back-to-back road games for the Mania. Like the Mania, Jacksonville is having a terrible time drawing at home. Unlike the Mania, which was out-muscled and lost, 3-0, to the 8-6 Cyclones at UMBC Stadium 13 days ago, the home team, clinging to first in the A-League's Atlantic Division, can both score and win.Mania scheduleDate, Opponent, TimeJune 26, at Jacksonville, 5: 30July 3, Hershey, 7: 35July 9, Indiana, 7: 35July 17, at Hershey, 7: 35July 24, at Atlanta, 7: 35July 28, at Lehigh Valley, 7: 30July 30, at Indiana, 8: 35Aug.

For the past five months, spectators in a Baltimore County courtroom watched as dozens of families who live near a Jacksonville service station that leaked thousands of gallons of gasoline into the community's groundwater made their case against Exxon Mobil Corp. One especially interested onlooker at the trial, which concluded Thursday with a jury awarding $150 million to the plaintiffs, was attorney Theodore M. Flerlage Jr. "It's always interesting to see how another firm addresses a situation," said Flerlage, who is with the Peter G. Angelos law firm.

After a 19-week trial, a lawsuit brought against Exxon Mobil Corp. by 300 Jacksonville residents went to the jury yesterday. At stake are potential compensatory and punitive damages worth "several billion dollars," said plaintiffs' attorney Stephen L. Snyder, whose team received a standing ovation from the crowded courtroom after the jury had filed out. Snyder had argued that the 26,000 gallons of unleaded gasoline that seeped into the groundwater from...

J ohn Harbaugh didn't know where to begin in talking about his team's turnaround from a year ago after the 11-5 Ravens clinched a playoff spot yesterday with a 27-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. But there are three major reasons. The biggest difference from a year ago is Harbaugh, who replaced Brian Billick as coach after a 5-11 season. Harbaugh put together a quality coaching staff, and the final piece was the development of rookie Joe Flacco, the franchise-changing quarterback that this team has coveted for so long.

THREE THINGS THAT NEED TO GO RIGHT ... 1 Take an early lead. In the Jaguars' past two road losses, they fell behind 10-0 in the first quarter at Houston and trailed 20-3 at halftime at Chicago. Jacksonville quarterback David Garrard has thrown nine of his 11 interceptions this season when trailing in the game. 2 Attack through the air. Jacksonville has given up 25 passing touchdowns, the third-most in the NFL. Rookie quarterback Joe Flacco hasn't thrown for multiple touchdowns in his past three games.

PITTSBURGH -- Faced with one of the biggest flops in NFL history, the Jacksonville Jaguars found a way to escape just as quarterback David Garrard did all last night. After squandering an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter, the Jaguars fought back with a late comeback of their own to edge the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-29, in a wild AFC wild-card game at Heinz Field. Garrard, the Jaguars' thick 245-pound leader, carried the team in the end, scrambling for 32 yards to convert a fourth-and-two and set up the game-winning field goal.
