ARLINGTON, Texas – Lamar Jackson and the winless Baltimore Ravens made an early statement against the Dallas Cowboys.

Jackson capped off his impressive opening drive by running unchallenged into the end zone for a 9-yard touchdown. It was the 30th rushing touchdown of his career, and he became only the seventh quarterback since 2000 to reach that mark.

It was Jackson’s first rushing touchdown in 11 games.

It was a familiar start for the Cowboys, who have allowed points on the first drive in all three games this season.

After losses to the Kansas City Chiefs and the Las Vegas Raiders, the Ravens want to avoid slipping to 0-3 for the second time in franchise history.
