The combination of Lamar Jackson at quarterback and Derrick Henry at running back paid immediate dividends for the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday.
The Ravens took the opening kickoff and marched down the field for a touchdown. The scoring play came when Henry barged into the end zone after taking a handoff from Jackson.
