Andy Dalton has turned into a big pain for the Baltimore Ravens.He threw four touchdown passes on Thursday night 鈥?three of them to A.J.

Dalton made the big plays again on Thursday, leaving the Ravens (1-1) too far behind to catch up."We came out hot," Dalton said. "That's exactly how we wanted to start the game. That's a big one 鈥?puts us 2-0 to start the year and gives us a leg up in the division."Down by 21 points, the Ravens made a run at it behind Joe Flacco, who threw a pair of touchdown passes. Flacco fumbled with 2:42 to go 鈥?Shawn Williams stripped the ball from behind 鈥?setting up a field goal by Randy Bullock that closed it out.Flacco finished 32 of 55 for 376 yards with two touchdowns, two interceptions , a fumble and four sacks."You better bounce back quick on a Thursday night and we didn't do it quick enough tonight Authentic Maurice Canady Jersey ," Flacco said.Some takeaways from Cincinnati's win:SEEING GREEN: Green set a career high with his touchdown catches of 4, 32 and 7 yards. He became the fourth Bengals receiver to catch three TD passes in a half, joining Marvin Jones (2013), Chad Johnson (2003) and Isaac Curtis (1973). Green was upset with himself after fumbling twice in a 34-23 win at Indianapolis on Sunday, and he caught everything thrown his way early on."It just happened to fall that way," Green said. "We were clicking on all cylinders. We were in a groove."DALTON'S DAY: Heading into the game, Dalton had thrown more interceptions (17) than touchdowns (15) against the Ravens, including a four-interception performance at Paul Brown Stadium last year. He finished 24 of 42 for 265 yards with no interceptions and no sacks. It was the fourth time he's thrown four touchdown passes in a game.

Flacco was sharp in two-plus quarters, throwing touchdown passes to three different receivers. But the Bengals gave him a tough time early, sacking him on each of Baltimore's first three possessions and forcing a pass that was picked off."It was tough sledding early on, and we weren't very precise," Flacco said.FAST START: The Bengals are 2-0 for only the fifth time in Lewis' 16 seasons.

It hurt mainly in coverage more than anything."Is there really a quarterback competition in Baltimore? What’s the most hotly contested quarterback competition in the sport of football right now? If you ask a lot of the major sports networks, it’s located in Baltimore, Maryland.Endless segments on shows ranging from ESPN to FS1 and especially NFL Network have been dedicated to the alleged battle between Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson that has taken place during training camp. Except. . . most reports out of Owings Mills indicate there is no quarterback controversy at all.Drafted at number 32 overall and with some room to learn, Jackson was brought in behind Flacco to be the future of the franchise and learn from the former Super Bowl MVP. Despite what a lot of the talking heads have been saying, the prevailing notion is that 2018 is a learning year for Lamar.NFL.com’s Marc Sessler agrees:This is pretty spot on. As exciting as Jackson is, the hoopla about him starting meaningful ballgames for Baltimore in 2018 has gotten a little out of hand. The franchise has invested too much in Flacco—between his massive contract and the upgraded weapons this offseason— to turn to Jackson early in the season. Unless Flacco utterly fails at some point in the year, the job is his. This isn’t to say Baltimore won’t find a way to take advantage of Jackson; as Sessler notes the coaching staff has conceded they’ve been working on getting him on the field in training camp practices.However Authentic Tony Jefferson Jersey , a lot of airtime is being dedicated to something that is simply a non-story at this point. Lamar will get his chance at some point, but if Joe Flacco rebounds as many expect him to, it won’t come in 2018.
