Historic Record Broken

In a dazzling display of athleticism, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson etched his name in the NFL record books on Wednesday night by becoming the all-time leading rusher for a quarterback. The Ravens achieved a stunning 31-2 victory over the Houston Texans, and Jackson’s historic moment came on a swift 6-yard rush in the third quarter, surpassing the previous record held by the legendary Michael Vick at 6,109 yards.

A Jaw-Dropping Performance

Adding to the excitement, Jackson electrified the crowd earlier in the game with a jaw-dropping 48-yard touchdown run, showcasing his unique ability to blend speed and agility. "I'm grateful, man," Jackson expressed in a post-game interview. "That’s a record that’s been there forever, for a long time. Michael Vick, one of my favorite players; it’s just dope."

Versatile Quarterback

Not only did Jackson showcase his rushing prowess, but he also excelled in his passing game, completing 10 of 15 attempts for 168 yards, with two touchdowns and an impressive passer rating of 143.9. This performance further solidified his position as one of the league's most versatile quarterbacks.

A New Milestone Achieved

Entering the game with 6,023 rushing yards, Jackson was just 87 yards shy of breaking Vick’s long-standing record. Vick, the famed dual-threat quarterback, achieved his milestone over 143 career games, while Jackson accomplished this feat in just 102 games—a testament to his extraordinary talent and work ethic. Since being drafted as a first-round pick in 2018, the two-time MVP has rushed for over 1,000 yards in a season on two occasions.

Looking Ahead

With this victory, the Ravens improved to an impressive 11-5 record, putting them one game ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers as they vie for the top spot in the competitive AFC North. As the playoffs loom on the horizon, fans are left wondering: can Jackson continue to break records and lead the Ravens to Super Bowl glory this season? The next few games will surely be thrilling!
