OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh defended his decision not to remove quarterback Lamar Jackson earlier from Sunday's season-opening 38-6 victory over the Cleveland Browns.
Harbaugh kept Jackson in the game when the Ravens started a series leading by 32 points with 10 minutes left in the game. The reigning NFL MVP dropped back to pass three times and got sacked once.
