The Baltimore Ravens won their first preseason game of the 2018 season 17-16 over the Chicago Bears. They are now 9-0 in their last nine preseason games, but perhaps the most significant win was the fact that Baltimore escaped this extra game without any new injuries.
The biggest storyline heading into the Hall of Fame Game was the debut of rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson. It was a somewhat long wait for fans to get their first look at Jackson as he did not play his first snap until the second half. He was Baltimore’s quarterback for the entire second half, and as expected, it was an up and down performance from him.
