ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Baltimore Ravens closed to within 21-19 of the Buffalo Bills by getting their ground attack on track. Derrick Henry's 5-yard touchdown in the third quarter capped a drive in which Baltimore ran on six of seven plays.

In the first quarter, Jackson staked the Ravens to an early 7-0 lead over the 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.

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