As good as Ravens rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers has been this season, there’s one area he can still improve in the eyes of his quarterback.Touchdown celebrations.After scoring the second touchdown of his NFL career — and his first on American soil — on a 3-yard pass from Lamar Jackson in the second quarter of Sunday night’s 20-10 win over the host Los Angeles Chargers, Flowers flipped the ball over his head as if it were a bouquet of flowers, mimicking the traditional post-wedding celebration. Left guard John Simpson caught the ball and handed it to wide receiver Rashod Bateman, who got down on one knee for a mock proposal.The scene did not impress Jackson, who was caught on NBC’s television cameras with a deadpan reaction as Flowers explained the choreography.“I told him I didn’t know what was going on,” Jackson said. “I was just standing there like, all right, come along with it, and then I seen what happened and I was like,...
