Lamar Jackson saw the coverage he wanted Monday night in Las Vegas. Wide receiver Sammy Watkins was covered one-on-one by Raiders linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski.
No contest.
Forty-nine yards later, the Baltimore Ravens were deep in Las Vegas territory as the perfect pass was caught by the former Ram, Chief, and Bill.
Watkins took it and tacked on a few yards before being tackled.

The play set up a touchdown run by Latavius Murray, who was signed last week after refusing to take a pay cut and being cut by the New Orleans Saints.
