Jackson's play-action and boot action exploited Colts' focus on Henry; 49-yard TD to Flowers shows scheme effectiveness.

Jackson executed play-action and boot action effectively in Week 1, immediately attacking the Colts defense with play-action to take advantage of their focus on Derrick Henry. He connected with Zay Flowers on a 49-yard play-action boot variation early in the game, and the Ravens used boot action near perfectly throughout to freeze defenders worried about run fits once Henry got going. This play-action and boot action scheme was a common theme in the first half and will be a key element the Saints must defend against.
