Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown scored 2 TDs on his first 2 catches from Lamar Jackson

First-round pick Marquise “Hollywood” Brown didn’t need much time to make a difference for the Baltimore Ravens.

Halfway into the first quarter of the Ravens’ game against the Miami Dolphins, Brown caught is very first pass in the NFL, a short throw from QB Lamar Jackson. And then immediately after catching it, Brown got another important first: he scored his very first touchdown. And he looked great doing it.

Brown, who was selected 25th overall out of Oklahoma, helped put the Ravens up 14-0 on the Dolphins. And then just a few minutes later, Brown and Jackson connected again, and there was even more magic.

That 83-yard TD, during which Brown shook off a guy literally pulling at his foot, put the Ravens up 21-0. You can’t ask for a better first-ever quarter of professional football from a rookie.

The first two touchdowns of Brown’s career contributed to a historic first half of football for the Ravens.

They led Miami 42-10 after the first half. The Dolphins might be bad, guys. Really, really bad.
