Lamar Jackson: Legacy Starts for Loop in Brazil

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson told kicker Tyler Loop that his legacy was starting after Loop made a crucial 56-yard field goal against the Cowboys in Brazil.

Loop's kick came after the Cowboys tied the score at 31 with seven seconds left. Jackson found Zay Flowers for a 27-yard gain, setting up the game-winning field goal with just enough time remaining. The kick was particularly significant as Loop had previously missed a field goal that kept Baltimore out of the playoffs the previous season. rocore.sbs

'I was saying on the sideline, 'Your legacy starting now,' because I feel like he has been facing adversity,' Jackson said. 'I said, 'What a way to start your legacy in Brazil,' and he finished the rest. He did it.' The Maracaña stadium has seen many memorable kicks, but none has meant more to the Ravens than this one that ended the NFL's first visit to the venue.
