Lamar Jackson sprinted five yards for a touchdown, capping Baltimore’s first offensive possession of the year and immediately putting the Ravens up 7-6 on the Colts.
Lamar Unleashed Early
After a season where his rushing numbers were down, Jackson wasted absolutely no time making a statement with his legs on Sunday. This wasn’t some broken play either; he powered into the end zone on a designed run, a play called directly by the team’s new offensive coordinator, Declan Doyle. Talk about a statement from the new partnership right out of the gate!
The Drive That Delivered
That five-yard score wasn’t the only highlight of the drive, though. Jackson’s arm got involved in the biggest offensive play that set it all up, hitting wide receiver Zay Flowers for a monster 49-yard gain. That huge play happened on their first offensive snap, after they started near midfield thanks to Chris Moore’s sweet 42-yard kickoff return. A dynamic start from literally every angle, right?
This is a successful launch for the Doyle-Jackson partnership, and you know they’re looking to keep that momentum rolling in Indianapolis. Can they build on this early lead? Every snap in this game is going to tell us more about what this new-look Ravens offense is capable of this season.
