Ravens Fall to Chiefs in Season Opener

The slimmer Jackson certainly looked faster on Thursday night. Jackson was Baltimore’s leading rusher with 122 yards on 16 carries and went 26-of-41 for 273 yards and a touchdown in the air. The two-time and reigning MVP kept the Ravens in the game all night.

After being one of the best players throughout training camp, Likely remained a top target for Jackson. The third-year pro had nine catches for 111 yards, including his highlight touchdown. With Likely and Mark Andrews, the Ravens have the best tight end duo in the NFL.

Baltimore’s offensive line was flagged for four illegal formation penalties in the first half, three coming on veteran left tackle Ronnie Stanley. Baltimore’s new-look offensive line allowed pressure throughout the night, including second-round rookie Roger Rosengarten giving up a strip-sack to Chris Jones.
