Lamar Jackson, a quarterback, made his injury debut by completing four touchdown passes for the Baltimore Ravens, 28-6.

Jackson missed three games with a hamstring injury in the team’s 37-20 defeat at the Kansas City Chiefs on September 28.

The 28-year-old completed 18 of his 23 passes for 204 yards with no interceptions, which is second-placed twice in the NFL MVP poll.

He twice won the MVP award, according to tight end Mark Andrews.

We are a dangerous team with [number] 8 leading the charge.

Baltimore (3-5) have won their first six games, and they are attempting to become the only NFL team to reach the playoffs after losing five of their first six games.

At Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, the Ravens managed just two field goals, putting together a strong defensive display.

Jackson acknowledged after the first play that he initially felt “a little rusty,” but he quickly found a rhythm.

After scoring Charlie Kolar to end an 11-play, 68-yard drive in the third quarter, he found Andrews with two of his touchdown passes in the first half. Rashod Bateman completed his touchdown pass.

Running back Derrick Henry, who became the 17th player in NFL history to surpass the 12, 000-yard career rushing mark, said, “Whenever you’re away from the game, you miss it.”
