Lamar Jackson Shatters Record

In a stunning display of skill and speed, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has officially etched his name into NFL history as the most accomplished rushing quarterback of all time, surpassing the legendary Michael Vick’s long-standing record.

A Historic Game

During Wednesday's impressive 31-2 victory over the Houston Texans, Jackson's dynamic play was on full display as he broke Vick’s record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback. His record-breaking carry brought his total rushing yards to a remarkable 6,110, accomplished in just 102 games compared to Vick's 143 games played. With many more years ahead of him, Jackson will have ample opportunity to expand this extraordinary total.

A Grateful Player

“It feels unreal, to be honest with you,” Jackson expressed in a team transcript. “I just give God all the glory. I’m grateful, man, because that’s a record that’s been held for a long time with Michael Vick, one of my favorite players. That’s just dope.” This comment highlights not only his achievement but also the respect he has for the players who came before him.

Personal Best

In addition to breaking the rushing record, Jackson also set a personal best during the game, clocking in at an astonishing 21.25 mph during a thrilling 48-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Humorously, he remarked that he was only “jogging,” but acknowledged it was “crazy” to reach such speeds en route to the end zone. Fans and commentators are buzzing about the electrifying performance that showcased Jackson’s unique talent and agility.

Looking Ahead

Looking ahead, Jackson and the Ravens are on the cusp of further glory. With a pivotal matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 18, a win would secure them the AFC North title. This achievement would only be a stepping stone toward Jackson's ultimate goal: capturing a Super Bowl title. Securing the championship would solidify his place among the greatest in football history, adding a coveted accolade to his already impressive resume.

The Road to Legend Status

As the football world watches eagerly, one can't help but wonder: will Lamar Jackson’s quest for a Super Bowl ring elevate him to legendary status alongside the greats of the game?
