On Sunday, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson decided to make history against the Miami Dolphins. By throwing for five touchdown passes, he ties the record for most in a week one opener with Peyton Manning on the Denver Broncos in 2013, according to ESPN.

The game was never in doubt on Baltimore's end. From the get-go, Jackson's Ravens were scoring. By the end of the first quarter, they were up 21-0, by halftime, 42-10. The Ravens wounded up winning 59-10; a franchise-high for points in a regular-season game.

Jackson went 17 for 20 for 324 yards and five touchdowns, on the ground, he had three attempts for six yards. Before the start of the season, Jackson talked multiple times on how he wants to pass the ball more and has been working on his mechanics.

It turns out, his words were truthful, as his passing performance and lack of runs are an inverse of how he played as a rookie.

Speaking of rookies, Ravens first-round receiver Marquise Brown had himself a debut game. He caught four passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns. Fellow rookie Miles Boykin chipped in another score, so did tight end Mark Andrews and wide receiver Willie Snead. It was a dominant performance for the Ravens' ariel attack.

However, people may not be convinced of Baltimore's offense until they face a more formidable opponent.

Entering the season, the Dolphins were presumed to be tanking, with just one game down for them; it looks like they are doing just that. Miami's pass-rush struggled, and so did every part of the young defense.
