Harbaugh thought Jackson would come back hot after he had a laser-sharp practice on Tuesday. But Jackson said he did feel like it had been a while since he played in a game.
"I missed a pass to 'Bate' \[Rashod Bateman\] on the first drive, so it was going through my mind the whole game," Jackson said. "I just wanted to put points on the board. I didn't want to start off too slow. After that play happened, I was ready to go. It kind of ticked me off a little bit."
While he tossed two touchdowns, Jackson threw for just 89 yards in the first half. The Dolphins outgained the Ravens, 226-109, in yardage before halftime. That all changed in the second half with back-to-back touchdown drives.
"I just felt a little bit \[more\] comfortable, and our guys were just ready to score," Jackson said.
Jackson found his legs, literally, in the third quarter. A 13-yard scramble on third-and-6 got the drive going and was the first time that Jackson opened up and sprinted since injuring his hamstring. A shoestring tackle took him down, but Jackson said he would've run faster if he hadn't thought it was a defensive lineman chasing him.
"That was probably the key play of the whole game," Harbaugh said. "Because if not, you're back, you're kind of in that second-quarter mode still, and that's what Lamar can do, and that's what he did. Lamar had a great game."
Two completions to Isaiah Likely and a tush-push by Andrews put the Ravens at the goal line, and a nifty misdirection play-call left Charlie Kolar wide open for a 3-yard touchdown to break the game open.
