Football is back: What can fans expect with the return of NFL?
FOX Sports NFL sideline reporter Jennifer Hale has insight on expectations.
The Baltimore Ravens set the tone for their 2020 opening game against the Cleveland Browns when Lamar Jackson threw a touchdown pass to tight end Mark Andrews in the first quarter.
Andrews was wide open behind the Browns defense and Jackson nearly missed him. Luckily, the third-year tight end made a fantastic one-handed grab and came down inbounds for the score. It was a 5-yard touchdown pass to get the season started off right for the Ravens.
