It was after the two-minute warning in Dallas, when the Baltimore Ravens needed one more first down to secure a 28-25 win over the Dallas Cowboys, that quarterback Lamar Jackson decided to work his magic.
Lining up in the pistol formation, Jackson gave such a convincing fake handoff to wide receiver Zay Flowers on a jet sweep to the left that blitzing Cowboys safety Donovan Wilson flew past Jackson to tackle Flowers.
Dallas linebackers Marist Liufau and Eric Kendricks both overpursued wide to chase Flowers, leaving a lane open inside for Jackson to run for 10 yards and seal another victory against another perplexed NFC team. «I was looking the wrong way a couple of times,» Ravens coach John Harbaugh acknowledged afterward.
