The Baltimore Ravens established a 31-13 lead over the Indianapolis Colts at halftime in their 2026 regular season opener at Lucas Oil Stadium. Lamar Jackson threw for 229 yards and a touchdown, while Zay Flowers recorded 150 receiving yards. Derrick Henry contributed two rushing scores, moving past Marvin Harrison on the all-time touchdown list. Despite an initial touchdown drive from the Colts led by Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor, the Baltimore defense forced two turnovers. Baltimore remains hampered by offensive penalties, including six infractions that stalled several drives before Tyler Loop connected on a 57-yard field goal to close the half. Flowers status for the remainder of the game is questionable due to a hamstring injury.
