Baltimore wideout Zay Flowers delivered a monster opening half on the road against the Indianapolis Colts before departing with an injured hamstring. Prior to exiting, the receiver hauled in five receptions totaling 150 yards, which included a 49-yard gain that set up a 5-yard Lamar Jackson touchdown scamper, as well as a 54-yard scoring strike from Jackson against Colts defensive back Charvarius Ward.
That dynamic production helped Baltimore build a 21-6 advantage heading into the break.
The standout first half marked Flowers' 10th career contest surpassing the century mark, matching tight end Mark Andrews for the franchise record. Flowers had previously participated fully during Friday's practice while managing the soft-tissue issue, but his departure leaves his status questionable for the remainder of the season opener.
