Since Lamar Jackson became the primary starter in 2019, the Baltimore Ravens have led the NFL in several Week 1 offensive categories. The team has averaged 33.3 points per game in season openers, alongside 407.6 net yards per game and 6.6 yards per play. These statistics reflect how the team traditionally functions in its first game following an offseason of preparation. The Ravens now transition into a new era under head coach Jesse Minter and offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. Jackson remains the focal point of the offense, which also features Derrick Henry in the backfield. Baltimore will attempt to maintain this opening-week standard on Sunday during a road game against the Indianapolis Colts. The matchup serves as the initial test for the team's newly installed offensive system.
