Jackson, who won the 2016 Heisman Trophy as a
Louisville sophomore, was selected by the Ravens with the 32nd
pick in the first round of this year's draft.
With regular Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco resting and Robert
Griffin III filling in Thursday as the starter, Jackson came off
the bench to complete 4 of 10 passes for 33 yards with an
interception. His scoring pass covered 8 yards to Hayden Hurst
in the third quarter, capping a six-play, 36-yard drive and
giving the Ravens a 17-7 lead.
The Bears rallied in the fourth quarter for a Cody Parkey
22-yard field goal and then a 10-yard touchdown pass from Tyler
Bray to Tanner Gentry with 2 minutes, 44 seconds remaining.
However, on the two-point conversion attempt, Bray's pass for
Daniel Brown was incomplete.
Bray completed 18 of 34 for 181 yards and the one touchdown in
relief of Chase Daniel, who was 8 of 16 for 53 yards with one
scoring pass and two interceptions. The Bears' top quarterback,
Mitchell Trubisky, did not play.
Chicago rookie Javon Wims made seven receptions for 89 yards.
Griffin threw for 58 yards on 7-of-11 passing. He had one
touchdown pass and one interception.
The game, which kicked off the NFL preseason, was the first
played under the league's new rules prohibiting defenders from
hitting opponents with their helmets. Five 15-yard penalties
were assessed for plays that appeared to fall under the new
rule. Two were specifically announced as "use of helmet" fouls,
while the other three were simply termed "unnecessary
roughness."
