Welcome back, Lamar Jackson. The two-time MVP has connected on pair of first-half passing touchdowns to Mark Andrews as the Ravens lead the Dolphins 14-6 at the break. Both teams are seeking their third wins of the season amid difficult starts.
The Dolphins got an opening-drive field goal and forced a quick three and out, but Tahj Washington fumbled deep in his own territory, and four plays later, Jackson found Andrews on a quick rollout to take a 7-3 lead. Miami responded with what looked to be a scoring drive, but a pair of self-inflicted wounds ended that possession with a missed field goal.
The Ravens took advantage of that gift with Jackson converting a third-and-4 by extending the play, finding Isaiah Likely for a 35-yard gain. Two plays later, Andrews got open on a crossing route after two Dolphins defenders collided, scoring from 20 yards out.
Miami’s first half has been defined by missed opportunities. It moved into Baltimore territory on five different drives but only managed two field goals. A tripping penalty against Ollie Gordon II (blatantly incorrect call) negated a massive completion from Tua Tagovailoa to Jaylen Waddle inside the 10, leading to a Dolphins punt. Late in the half, Miami got all the way to the Baltimore 13 but failed on a fourth-and-2.
The Dolphins are moving the ball well and defending the run; will they capitalize and turn in the tide in the second half, or are the Ravens ready to pull away toward victory? Follow along with second-half analysis below.
