鈥?Joe Flacco needed only one series to show why there won’t be any competition this summer to determine the Baltimore Ravens starting quarterback.The other two guys Authentic Russell Bodine Jersey , however, also put on quite a show.Flacco threw a touchdown pass on his only series of the game, rookie Lamar Jackson ran for a score and Baltimore rolled to a 33-7 preseason victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night.Baltimore (2-0) led 17-0 after the first period and cruised to the finish against the Rams (0-1), who rested offensive stars Jared Goff and Todd Gurley.After sitting out the Hall of Fame Game last week, Flacco went 5 for 7 for 71 yards during a 10-play drive. The 11-year veteran overcame a second-and-25 with a 30-yard pass to newcomer Michael Crabtree and finished with a 6-yard TD throw to Patrick Ricard.“That’s really all we needed from Joe,” coach John Harbaugh said. “Get Lamar out there with a lot of reps, get Robert (Griffin III) out there.”Jackson entered the next time Baltimore got the ball and coolly directed a 73-yard march in which he completed a 36-yard pass to Chris Moore and broke two tackles running for a 9-yard touchdown.“It was a great run,” Harbaugh said. “I thought he was tackled twice 鈥?and then he wasn’t.”Said Jackson: “They tried to get to me, I made a guy miss. Then I did what I do best and tried to get in the end zone.”Jackson went 7 for 18 for 119 yards, ran for 21 yards and was sacked twice before giving way to Griffin early in the third quarter.Griffin went 5 for 7 for 88 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown strike to Breshad Perriman.Flacco has been named Baltimore’s starter in the regular season. Griffin is seeking a comeback after being inactive in 2017, and Jackson is trying to adjust to the pro game after winning a Heisman Trophy at Louisville and being drafted in the first round last April.Jackson could learn a thing or two by watching Flacco.“He was awesome. He was smooth Washington Redskins Jerseys Womens , had a lot of poise in the pocket,” the rookie said.The Ravens and Rams held joint practices Monday and Tuesday, and Los Angeles coach Sean McVay indicated the work against outside opposition would enable him to rest a few of his starters in the preseason opener.So, Sean Mannion opened at quarterback, Malcolm Brown lined up behind him and the offense sputtered for much of the night.Los Angeles gained 5 yards and made one first down in the first quarter. The Rams trailed 23-0 at halftime after totaling 45 yards and three first downs.“We expect to play better and we will,” McVay said. “Sometimes these lessons, these humbling experiences if you will, for everybody is the level of awareness. You can’t wait to get back to work and know that we got a lot work to do. What’s encouraging is we have time to figure it out.”Mannion played the first half, going 3 for 13 for 16 yards and an interception.“It certainly wasn’t my best performance. Just wasn’t really able to get into a rhythm early,” Mannion said.NATIONAL ANTHEMBoth teams stood during the national anthem. While most of the Ravens lined up shoulder to shoulder on the sideline, second-year linebacker Tim Williams stood alone in front of the bench with his back toward the field.INJURIESIt appeared as if both teams got out of the game without any significant injuries.HELMET RULEThe Rams received successive 15-yard penalties in the first quarter for lowering the head to initiate contact, a new rule this season. Marqui Christian received the first flag Josh Sweat Jersey Eagles , and Blake Countess followed. The penalties attributed for nearly half the yardage in a drive that produced a field goal for a 17-0 lead.“The preseason offers a great opportunity for all of us to work through some things and learn,” McVay said. “How that can enable us to better coach it, and how we can better understand, how we can expect them to consistently officiate that knowing that most importantly it’s about taking the head out of the game.”UP NEXT:Rams: After an extended stay on the East Coast, Los Angeles heads home to begin preparation for its next opponent, the Oakland Raiders at home on Aug. 18.Ravens: Their next preseason game isn’t until Aug. 20 at Indianapolis, but that begins a stretch of three games in 11 days. AJ McCarron couldn't help notice the number of draft-eligible quarterback prospects the Buffalo Bills have paraded through their facility in recent days.
UCLA's Josh Allen was in town Monday. Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield visited last week.
McCarron, on Tuesday, acknowledged he stopped to chat with some of the former college players to see how they're holding up through the pre-draft process.
And yet, their presence 鈥?and the possibility of Buffalo selecting one of them in the first round of the draft next week 鈥?won't distract McCarron from focusing on the reason he signed with the Bills in free agency last month after spending his first four NFL seasons backing up Andy Dalton in Cincinnati.
The Bills have an opening for a starter after trading Tyrod Taylor to Cleveland this offseason, and it's McCarron's objective to fill the job.
"As quarterback, you've got to have that confidence and you've got to take that approach to it Authentic Evan Bouchard Jersey , because if you don't, you're already a step behind," McCarron said after completing the second day of Buffalo's voluntary offseason conditioning program.
He's started bonding with his new teammates over dinner, by exchanging texts and is already making plans to spend time working out together before the start of training camp.
"That's the way I've always done it," McCarron said. "I mean, even in Cincy, I knew how to do it and not step on AD's (Andy Dalton's) toes."
And forget about him paying attention to what the Bills do in the draft with their nine selections, including two first-rounders at No. 12 and 22.
"I can't worry about it because it creates mental clutter for myself," McCarron said. "So for me to worry about ifs and what could happen, it's just not part of my DNA. I've never been that way and won't ever do it."
General manager Brandon Beane has provided no hints regarding his draft plans. Beane said a GM's primary responsibility is finding a franchise quarterback. And yet, Beane would also consider this year's draft a success should the Bills not select a quarterback.
McCarron and Nathan Peterman are the only two quarterbacks on the roster, with both having very limited NFL experience.
A two-time national champion at Alabama Ronnie Harrison Jersey Jaguars , McCarron appeared in just 11 games with Cincinnati, mostly in mop-up duties. He started four games, including an 18-16 loss to Pittsburgh in a 2016 AFC wild-card playoff in which the Bengals squandered a one-point lead in the final seconds as a result of a turnover and two penalties.
Peterman proved he wasn't ready to be a starter as a rookie last season. The fifth-round pick out of Pittsburgh was yanked after throwing five interceptions in the first half of his first career start in a 54-24 loss at the Los Angeles Chargers in November.
Peterman also threw an interception in the final minutes of a 10-3 loss to Jacksonville in an AFC wild-card playoff after Taylor sustained a concussion.
Peterman said he's focused on looking forward after spending the first month of the offseason assessing his rookie season.
"The first thing, you've got to actually look at what happened and take it all in, feel the pain of those losses and all the mistakes that you made, but also the good things that you did as well," Peterman said. "I was able to do that and able to really press that reset button and look ahead."
He also spent time working on his mechanics at the 3DQB quarterback training facility in southern California.
Much like McCarron, Peterman isn't worried whether the Bills draft a quarterback.
"It's all above my head," Peterman said. "You can't be focused on the things you can't control because it wouldn't be very productive."
NOTES: DE Cap Capi was released Tuesday. He appeared in five games with Buffalo after being promoted from the practice squad last season. ... RB Fred Jackson will sign a one-day contract on Wednesday to retire as a member of the Bills. He played eight seasons in Buffalo and has been out of football since completing the 2015 season in Seattle.
