After a head-turning performance to open the season, Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens have a high bar to match as they face rookie Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Jackson, who took over the Ravens starting quarterback position last year as a rookie when Joe Flacco got hurt and never relinquished it, served notice he improved his passing skills. Jackson completed 17 of 20 passes for 324 yards and five touchdowns—both career highs—as the Ravens set a franchise record for points in their 59-10 thrashing of Miami.
Three of Jackson’s scoring passes covered at least 33 yards as first-round pick Marquise Brown made a spectacular debut with 47 and 83-yard scoring plays his first two NFL receptions en route to a four-catch, 147-yard effort.
