Flowers was the Ravens' biggest weapon in Week 1, finishing with 5 receptions for 150 yards and a touchdown. The Ravens coaching staff intentionally lined him up to create favorable matchups throughout the game; one example featured a 54-yard touchdown where Flowers won against a Colts linebacker on a Texas route and provided downfield blocking.
