In one quarter, the Ravens changed the narrative on a defense that had eaten opponents alive
Have we ever seen Jackson concentrate more brilliant throws into a single quarter?
There was a lovely 23-yard tear drop to a streaking Melvin Gordon on the sideline. There was his 43-yard strike to Zay Flowers after he scrambled to buy time. He threw a ball where only Nelson Agholor could catch it against blanket coverage in the corner of the end zone, but Agholor could not drag his second foot inbounds. No matter. Jackson followed up with a lob over three defenders to leaping tight end Mark Andrews to put the Ravens up 21-3 at halftime.
