The Baltimore Ravens’ defense started the game doing its job well. They completely shut down the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense to the tune of negative-six passing yards and a sack, ultimately giving the Ravens’ offense a short field to start their afternoon.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson and company went to work making the most of that great opening field position. Jackson methodically marched toward the end zone, setting up the first touchdown of the day.
This play highlights what Jackson does so well when things don’t quite pan out the way they’re drawn up. He used his legs to move, juke, and buy time to find the right option. In this case, it wound up being an open Nick Boyle. Boyle does an excellent job blocking initially before slipping open and finding a hole in coverage for Jackson to throw to.

The Ravens are certainly starting off on the right foot, which has consistently led to victories in the Jackson era.
