Sunday Superstars: NFL Week 1 cardboard icons include trio of Ravens, Mahomes, Minshew, McCaffrey, Murray & more
There was no crying playing against the Dolphins -- it was a laugher.
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, WR Marquise "Hollywood" Brown and RB Mark Ingram lit things up against Miami and all could be seeing some interesting cardboard gains after a Ravens record-setting 59-10 rout to open the season. It was the highest-scoring mark in the league since 2012, despite all of the crazy offensive teams of the last few years.
Jackson's Rookie Cards are found in last year's releases, while Brown is a 2019 rookie and Ingram's arrival came back in 2011. Their stats? Jackson completed 17 of 20 passes for 324 yards and five TDs and didn't have much time to run. Brown had just four catches but ended with 147 yards and a pair of scores, while Ingram, had 14 carries but 107 yard and two TDs in the win. All are strong numbers, albeit against a team that looks to be headed for worst in the league dishonors. Jackson will probably remain the go-to of this trio with his late-season highlights last year paving the way for even more hype now. Brown might be the go-to new-pull guy but could have up and down games as plenty of new cards drop. Ingram also could have some ups and downs but he's got plenty of cardboard to choose from -- but not much in his new colors. (Yet.)
