BALTIMORE -- Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson didn't simply return to NFL MVP form. He was actually better, at least in accomplishing his biggest offseason goal.
Jackson stretched the field unlike any time before in Sunday's dominating, 38-6 season-opening win over the Cleveland Browns.
He was 9-of-10 for 180 yards on throws of 10 yards or more downfield, including a 19-yard touchdown pass to Willie Snead (which traveled 18 yards in the air). That's the most such completions in a game in Jackson's career.
Last season, Jackson completed just 49.
