Ravens WATCH: Baltimore WR Zay Flowers Scores First NFL Touchdown in London
The Baltimore Ravens are enjoying time in London for the last game there before moving to Germany for the NFL's International Series this season. Already playing with a 9-3 lead at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Ravens finally connected for a touchdown with a combination that Baltimore fans would love to see more of.
On a 2nd and 7 from the 10-yard line, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson found rookie wideout Zay Flowers at the three, who then dove into the end zone for the game's first touchdown.
It wasn't only the game's first touchdown, it was the first NFL touchdown for Flowers, who the Ravens picked in the first round of last April's draft.
Flowers is having an excellent season after being the 22nd overall pick. The former Boston College Eagle was selected by the Ravens to help bolster a new offense behind new offensive coordinator Todd Monken. And so far, the combination of Jackson, Flowers, and Monken has registered Flowers three catches for 28 yards and the touchdown in London.
Entering the contest overseas, Flowers had registered 29 catches for 317 yards and the Ravens continue to re-tool their offense behind Monken.
Baltimore holds an 18-3 lead in London at the half. After the Flowers touchdown, the Ravens attempted a successful two-point conversion, but an offensive pass interference call on receiver Odell Beckham Jr. negated the points and moved the ball back five yards.
After the penalty, the Ravens decided to kick the extra point, and it was blocked. Baltimore added a field goal at the gun resulting in the odd 18-3 score.
This is the last game for the NFL in London before the International Series moves to Germany for one more game in November.
