Jackson entered the opener completely healthy and eager to showcase Baltimore’s revamped offense under new coordinator Declan Doyle. His first touchdown demonstrated

Flowers also made an immediate impact after finishing seventh in the NFL in receiving yards last season. His 49-yard reception supplied the biggest play of the drive and created the opportunity for Jackson to finish it with his legs.
