The Albany Gazette - Ravens rip Commanders as Lions lose NFL sacks leader in win

NFL rushing leader Derrick Henry ran 24 times for 132 yards and two touchdowns while Zay Flowers had 132 yards on nine catches, all in the first half for a Ravens record.

"Just giving my guys the opportunities, making guys miss and getting yards after the catch," said Jackson. "It was just an all-around team effort."

Two-time NFL Most Valuable Player Jackson completed 20 of 26 passes and ran 11 times for 40 yards, guiding the Ravens on two scoring drives from beyond 90 yards for a fourth consecutive victory after an 0-2 start.

"Just taking accountability," Jackson said "We made a lost of mistakes the first two games. That's the NFL -- everything's not perfect.

"But we've just been trying to minimize our mistakes and put points on the board and that's what we've been doing."

Washington rookie Jayden Daniels completed 24 of 35 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns and rushed six times for 22 yards for the Commanders (4-2) against the NFL's top run defenders.

"Great player," Jackson said of Daniels. "Just his sixth game in the league, rookie year. The sky is the limit for him."
