Derrick Henry scored three rushing touchdowns and ran for 144 yards as the Baltimore Ravens opened the season with a 41-23 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Lamar Jackson threw for 324 yards and a touchdown while adding a rushing score, and Zay Flowers caught five passes for 150 yards and a touchdown before leaving with a hamstring injury.
Henry moved into third place on the NFL's career rushing touchdown list with his 125th score, passing Hall of Famer Marcus Allen. Baltimore also extended its active streak of scoring at least 20 points in season openers to 10 consecutive games. Indianapolis received 98 rushing yards and two touchdowns from Jonathan Taylor, but Daniel Jones threw for 166 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
Baltimore hosts New Orleans on Sept. 20. Indianapolis travels to Kansas City for a Sunday night matchup with the Chiefs the same day.
