Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is known for breaking records and creating ones of his own in the NFL and has the resume to prove it. On Sunday he not only won his first playoff game, Jackson hit a rushing milestone that only goes to prove how electric he is on the field.
Jackson became the second quarterback to rush for at least 100 yards and have a rushing touchdown in a playoff game in the Super Bowl era, according to ESPN’s Jamison Hensley. With 136 rushing yards against the Tennessee Titans, Jackson joins former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick as the only two quarterbacks to do so.
Jackson also produced the second-longest touchdown run by a quarterback in the playoffs. Jackson found the end zone on a 48-yard highlight-reel touchdown run before halftime to tie the game and ultimately give the Ravens momentum when they desperately needed it. Jackson trails behind Kaepernick who rushed for a 56-yard touchdown against the Green Bay Packers in the 2013 NFC divisional round of the playoffs.
Jackson has produced one of the most incredible starts to an NFL career. Expect the former NFL MVP to continue using his legs to put his name alongside the game’s greats.
