It was a much-needed win for a team that seemed close to going off the rails. Lawrence and receiver Gabe Davis got into an argument on the sidelines during the first quarter and had to be separated.

Joe Flacco, a 39-year-old veteran who defeated Jacksonville in Cleveland last season, made it interesting. Flacco completed 33 and 44 passes for a total of 359 yards with three touchdowns.
