**Ravens Edge Cowboys in Thrilling Finale**
In a nail-biting finish, the Baltimore Ravens secured their first victory of the season, defeating the Dallas Cowboys 28-25 on Sunday. Quarterback Lamar Jackson led the charge, inspiring his team with a halftime pep talk before taking matters into his own hands in the final drive.
With the game on the line, Jackson threw a crucial third-down pass and then ran for a first down, allowing the Ravens to hold off the Cowboys’ late surge. The win marked a significant turnaround for Baltimore, which avoided its second 0-3 start in franchise history.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh praised Jackson’s performance, saying, “He was phenomenal throughout the game and took over the last drive.” Jackson’s clutch plays prevented what would have been the largest comeback in Cowboys history.
The reigning league MVP completed 12-of-15 passes for 182 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 87 yards and another score. His leadership was evident throughout the game, as he motivated his teammates with his vocal presence.
Teammates have noticed a change in Jackson’s demeanor this season, with fullback Patrick Ricard saying, “He’s been very vocal this year… When he’s getting on guys, it puts even more fire behind them.” Offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley added, “He wants us to want it just as much as him.”
With the win, Jackson improved to 21-1 as a starting quarterback against NFC teams, boasting an impressive.955 win percentage in interconference games. As the Ravens look to build momentum, they’ll rely on Jackson’s leadership and determination to drive them towards the playoffs.
