PASSING GAME
Quarterback Lamar Jackson couldn’t miss in a 38-6 season-opening win over the Cleveland Browns, completing 20 of 25 passes for 275 yards and three touchdowns. He made good on his promises to target the team’s wide receivers more regularly, completing five passes to Marquise Brown, four to Willie Snead IV and three to Miles Boykin. Tight end Mark Andrews caught five passes on six targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns and remains the No. 1 option on crucial downs.
Quarterback Deshaun Watson played below his standard in a 34-20 Week 1 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, completing 20 of 32 passes for 253 yards. He was sacked four times as the offensive line carried over its spotty performance from last season. On the bright side, wide receiver Will Fuller V excelled in his first game filling the void left by the traded DeAndre Hopkins. Watson struggled to complete in one of his worst games in that loss, taking six sacks and throwing an interception.
