Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson delivered a spectacular season debut, completing 17 of 25 passes for 324 yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. He also contributed significantly on the ground, rushing seven times for 40 yards and an additional touchdown.

This commanding performance effectively answered any doubts regarding Jackson's continued elite potential, showcasing his readiness and impact in the new season.
