Smith completed 17 of 22 passes for 398 yards. He had a hand in six fi rst-half scores as Linfi eld built a 42-0 half- time lead, then played just one possession in the third quarter and fi nished that with his fi nal touchdown pass of the day. Linfi eld (4-1, 3-0 NWC) rolled to 702 yards total offense, the fi fth-highest mark in school history. Jackson leads Ravens to upset of Seahawks By Tim Booth AP Sports Writer SEATTLE — Lamar Jackson was mad. He was mad about settling for fi eld goals three times in the fi rst half. Mad about a delay-of-game penalty and a 13-yard run on third down when he needed 15 yards. Mad to see Justin Tucker trotting on the fi eld again for a fi eld goal. John Harbaugh saw the anger, so he called timeout and gave Jackson a chance. A critical fourth down would be in the hands of Baltimore’s young QB, not on the foot of its kicker. “I was tired of not scoring,” Jackson said. Running an old-school power play, Jackson rolled in an on 8-yard TD on that fourth-down call. It gave the Ra- vens the lead for good on their way to a 30-16 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Whether it was scrambling away from trouble or designed runs to use his speed, there was no stopping Jackson. He was the best player on the fi eld, out- shining Seattle QB Russell Wilson on a day the Seahawks star fi nally made his fi rst critical mistake of the season. Jackson was especially good in the second half, when he led Baltimore on a pair of crucial scoring drives. He fi nished with 116 yards rushing and his TD run and 143 yards passing. Wilson was nearly fl awless for the fi rst six games but struggled to fi nd open receivers against Baltimore’s physical secondary. Seattle (5-2) was leading 10-6 and driving when Wilson made the mistake of double-clutching and trying to throw late into the fl at. Marcus Peters, traded to Baltimore less than a week ago, made a quick break on the throw, stepped in front of Jaron Brown and outraced Wilson 67 yards for his fi fth career interception return touchdown.
