Wide receiver Zay Flowers’s first game since signing a long-term deal in Baltimore has been one of the biggest days of his career, but he won’t be adding any highlights in the second half.
Flowers set up the Ravens’ first touchdown in Indianapolis with a 49-yard catch and later scored on a 54-yard catch-and-run that came after he lined up in the backfield. Flowers had five catches for 150 yards overall, but left with a hamstring injury in the second quarter and the Ravens announced that he will not return to the game.
Flowers’s exploits helped the Ravens race out to a 28-6 lead in a strong opening half for their new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. Derrick Henry ran for a pair of scores, including a 32-yarder up the sideline, and Lamar Jackson also ran for a score in an encouraging sign after his running totals dipped in 2025. Jackson also turned a near-sack into a 16-yard gain on a third down and ran three times for 40 yards overall while going 12-of-17 for 229 yards through the air.
The only negative for Jackson came when he lost a fumble on an Arden Key sack in the second quarter. The Colts turned that into Jonathan Taylor’s second touchdown of the day, but they still trail 31-13 with the Ravens getting the ball to start the second half.
