  "account": "Baltimore Ravens faced a challenging situation after starting quarterback Joe Fagnano's poor performance at halftime against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football. Fagnano had only managed 33 total offense yards, including 29 passing yards on 7-of-11 passes. With Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley sidelined due to injuries, Baltimore was left with limited quarterback options, potentially including undrafted rookie Diego Pavia. NFL analyst Skip Bayless took to social media to express his disappointment with the Ravens' decision to cut Pavia prior to the start of the season. Bayless tweeted, \"If Diego Pavia were starting tonight at QB for the Ravens, they’d have a much better chance of winning.\" Pavia, an undrafted college standout, was signed by the Ravens as an undrafted free agent following a successful college career at Vanderbilt.",
  "summary": "With Lamar Jackson out with an injury, the Baltimore Ravens started Joe Fagnano at quarterback for Thursday Night Football’s showdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, as the game approaches halftime, the Ravens are struggling offensively, trailing 17-3.",
