In the fourth quarter, with Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers on the up, veteran wide receiver Antonio Gates fumbled and Patrick Onwuasu caught the ball and ran it for a 62-yard touchdown to give the Ravens a 22-10 win.
Jackson, the 32nd overall pick in April, threw for 200 yards in a game for the first time after averaging just 146.2 yards through his first five games.
