The Baltimore Ravens downed the Dallas Cowboys 34-17 Tuesday night at home, led by quarterback Lamar Jackson, who was playing for the first time since November 22 after he tested positive for the coronavirus.

Jackson threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third, carrying 13 times and running for 94 yards. Jackson was one of 23 Ravens who spent time on the Covid-19 list because they had the virus, and about a half-dozen are still on it. 

 

Ravens' Dez Bryant Tests Positive

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant left during warmups before Monday night’s game against his former team, the Dallas Cowboys, with what Baltimore said was an “illness.”

Bryant tweeted that he’d tested positive for the coronavirus, and, frustrated, tweeted later, “I’m going to go ahead and call it a quit for the rest of the season . . . I can’t deal with this.” But he later posted more tweets, including saying, “Yea I’m coming back . . . I’m being smart.”  

 

Eagles' Hurts Will Start at QB Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson announced Tuesday that Jalen Hurts will start for the team at quarterback on Sunday instead of Carson Wentz.

Michigan, Ohio State Game Canceled
