Baltimore Ravens Start Season with Dominating 41-23 Win over Indianapolis Colts

On Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens opened their 2026 season with a dominating 41-23 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Running back Derrick Henry rushed for 144 yards and three touchdowns, while quarterback Lamar Jackson threw for 324 yards and a score.
Head coach Jesse Minter led the Ravens to victory in his debut, filling the position held by John Harbaugh for 18 years. Minter called the first win 'surreal,' noting the presence of his family on the sideline.
Zay Flowers recorded 150 yards on five catches, including a 54-yard touchdown reception. Baltimore built a 31-13 halftime lead behind Jackson's passing and rushing dominance.
Returning from an Achilles tendon tear suffered in December, Colts quarterback Daniel Jones struggled in his comeback, throwing for 166 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Head coach Shane Steichen stated, 'We've got to be better,' following the loss.
The Ravens will host the New Orleans Saints next Sunday, while the Colts travel to face the Kansas City Chiefs. Both teams look to build on or recover from their Week 1 performances.
