The Ravens are back in the win column after blowing out the Denver Broncos, 41-10, Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.
Lamar Jackson had his fourth career game with a perfect passer rating as he had as many touchdowns (three) as incompletions. The Ravens offense scored on seven straight drives against the league's No. 3-ranked defense as Baltimore reached at least 40 points for the third time this season.
Here's how it happened:
Turning Point
Leading by 14 to start the second half, the Ravens scored a touchdown, forced a punt, then added another touchdown to take complete control of the game. The Broncos stayed close for most of the first half, but Baltimore's offense was too much and the defense began to heat up.
Top Play
Leading by a touchdown with less than 30 seconds until halftime, Zay Flowers did it all. Lamar Jackson found the speedy receiver about 20 yards downfield, but Flowers put a couple moves on defenders and raced to the endzone for a 53-yard score.
It was Flowers' second touchdown of the half and gave him 111 yards, putting Baltimore up 24-10.

Stock Watch
QB Lamar Jackson
Jackson continues to make history as he joined former Steeler Ben Roethlisberger as the only players with four games with a perfect passer rating in NFL history. Jackson finished 16-of-19 for 280 yards and three touchdowns.
WR Zay Flowers
Flowers had 132 yards last time he played at M&T Bank Stadium, and he erupted again on Sunday. The second-year receiver finished with five catches for 127 yards and two touchdowns, marking his first career game with multiple scores. Flowers has at least 100 receiving yards in four of the last five games.
RB Derrick Henry
The 30-year-old Henry looks unstoppable right now. In just nine games, Henry reached the 1,000-yard rushing mark as he once again topped 100 rushing yards in a game. With two touchdowns Sunday, Henry has now scored a touchdown in Baltimore's first nine games of the year.
OLB Tavius Robinson
Through 25 career games, Robinson had 2.5 sacks, but he almost tied that mark on Sunday. Robinson finished with two sacks, including bringing down Broncos quarterback Bo Nix on third down.
Up Next
Baltimore has a quick turnaround, hosting the Cincinnati Bengals on "Thursday Night Football." The Ravens will debut their "Purple Rising" helmets as they look to sweep the Bengals (4-5) in the regular season.
