In a thrilling season opener, the Baltimore Ravens outlasted the Indianapolis Colts with a final score of 28-22. Both teams came into this matchup eager to set the tone for the 2026 season, but it was Baltimore that managed to secure an early victory on the road. Lamar Jackson led the Ravens' offense with a stellar performance, tossing two touchdown passes while also showcasing his dual-threat ability. Derrick Henry was a force on the ground, racking up 101 rushing yards to keep the chains moving. On the other side, Colts quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 182 yards, connecting frequently with Keenan Allen, who finished with 77 receiving yards, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Ravens' offensive firepower. Defensively, the Ravens made pivotal plays that shifted the momentum in their favor. Bilhal Kone's seven tackles anchored a solid defensive effort, while Roquan Smith recorded two sacks, consistently pressuring Jones. The Colts' defense did manage to snag an interception from Cam Taylor-Britt, but it was Baltimore's defensive stops that proved crucial, especially in the final moments of the game, allowing them to hold off a late Colts surge.
