Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens are out to show last season was an aberration.
A drama-free victory in Week 1 was an early but meaningful step toward doing that.
The Ravens cruised to a 24-9 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Coach John Harbaugh improved to 11-4 in season openers. Only the Philadelphia Eagles have been better at getting to 1-0 over the past 15 years.
Last year was a rare loss for Baltimore in an opener - an overtime defeat at Las Vegas that in many ways set the tone for the season.
