Jackson capped an impressive opening drive by running into the end zone untouched for a 9-yard touchdown. It was the 30th rushing touchdown of his career, as he became only the seventh quarterback since 2000 to reach that mark.
It was the first rushing touchdown for Jackson in 11 games.
This was a familiar start for the Cowboys, who have allowed points on the first drive in all three games this season.
After losing to the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders, the Ravens are looking to avoid falling to 0-3 for just the second time in franchise history.
