Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson scored his first touchdown as an NFL quarterback Thursday in the Ravens preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams.
Jackson, a former Heisman-winner from Louisville, entered Thursday game for the Ravens second possession after starting quarterback Joe Flacco started the game and led the offense downfield for a touchdown.
On third-and-five at the Rams nine-yard line, Jackson avoided multiple tackles in the pocket and in the secondary as he ran the ball into the endzone for his first NFL touchdown.
Jackson, who was drafted by the Ravens with the 32nd overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, threw 7-of-18 for 119 yards and rushed for 21 yards on five carries in his preseason debut.
The Ravens went on to win Thursday’s game against the Rams, 33-7.
