ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens started Sunday’s divisional playoff game much like they did last week in the wild-card round.

Jackson staked the Ravens to an early 7-0 lead over the Buffalo Bills with a 16-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Rashod Bateman, marking the second straight game that they’ve connected on a touchdown pass on the opening drive. Last week, Jackson capped the first series against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a 15-yard touchdown throw to Bateman.

Baltimore has reversed its fortunes at the start of postseason games. The Ravens had totaled only three points on the opening drives of Jackson’s first six playoff games.

Now, on opening drives this postseason, Jackson is a perfect 5-of-5 passing for 120 yards and two touchdowns.
