No team has ever won the Super Bowl after starting 0-3, which tells you all you need to know about how important this win was. It wasn’t perfect, things got close in the fourth quarter, but Baltimore escaped with a very important win.

Jackson (12 of 15, 182 yards, 87 yards rushing, two total touchdowns) made key plays throughout the game and ran for the game-ending first down. The Ravens didn’t protect a 28-6 lead as well as they would have liked, but they escaped Dallas with a win that could set their season in the right direction.

“It’s a tough environment to play in, I’m just proud of the way our guys handled it,” head coach John Harbaugh said. “To get the running game going like we did, to have 274 yards rushing, to have Lamar take over the game like he did, that’s our identity, that’s our personality. We’ve just got to keep building on that.”
