ARLINGTON, Texas -- Before the Baltimore Ravens left the locker room at halftime, quarterback Lamar Jackson spoke to the team and emphasized finishing the game. Then, when the game was on the line, Jackson took it upon himself to close out the Ravens' first victory of the season.
On the final drive, Jackson threw a clutch third-down pass and then ran for a first down as Baltimore held off the Dallas Cowboys, 28-25, on Sunday. The Ravens (1-2) avoided the second 0-3 start in team history.
"I thought Lamar [Jackson] was just phenomenal throughout the game and then took over the last drive," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.
