Led by a nearly perfect Lamar Jackson, the Ravens began their season with a record-breaking, 59-10 rout over a Miami Dolphins team playing for a future that seems a long way off.
Jackson, whose accuracy and consistency as a passer were topics No. 1 and 1A in Ravens training camp all summer, delivered a virtuoso performance, going 17-for-20 for 324 yards and five touchdowns. Jackson finished with a passer rating of 158.3, a Ravens record and the highest possible rating using the NFL's formula.
Other records set by the Ravens, who scored touchdowns on their first four possessions, included: most points in a game (59); most points in a first half (42); most total yards of offense (643); most touchdown passes (6; Lamar Jackson 5, Robert Griffin III 1)
