After forcing Josh Allen and the Bills' red-hot offense to punt on their first drive of the game, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense set up at their own 13-yard line.
On the first snap, Jackson turned and handed the ball to star running back Derrick Henry, who immediately saw a hole he liked on the right side of the line.
