Lamar Jackson Breaks NFL Rushing Record for Quarterbacks in Stunning Ravens Victory

A Historic Night for Lamar Jackson

Lamar Jackson made NFL history on Wednesday, shattering the all-time quarterback rushing record in a commanding Baltimore Ravens victory over the Houston Texans. The Ravens claimed a 31-2 win, solidifying their position in the AFC North and showcasing Jackson’s MVP-caliber season.

With an electrifying 48-yard touchdown run where he hit a career-high speed of 21.25 mph, Jackson added another remarkable moment to his legacy. That run pushed his career rushing total to 6,110 yards, surpassing Michael Vick’s previous record of 6,109 yards.

“Michael Vick is one of my favorite players,” Jackson said. “To pass him is just dope.”

How Lamar Jackson Powered the Ravens to Victory

Jackson’s performance was nothing short of stellar. He threw for 168 yards and two touchdowns, while rushing for 87 yards, including his record-setting run. His dominance allowed the Ravens to rest him in the fourth quarter, giving way to backup quarterback Josh Johnson.

“Just another phenomenal performance,” said head coach John Harbaugh. “Breaking the all-time NFL rushing record for quarterbacks speaks volumes about who Lamar is and what he does every week.”

The Ravens controlled the game from start to finish. Running back Derrick Henry added to the offensive firepower, rushing for 147 yards and breaking Baltimore’s single-season touchdown record with his 16th score.

Why Lamar Jackson’s Record Matters

Jackson’s record-breaking run is more than just a personal milestone; it solidifies his legacy as one of the most dynamic players in NFL history. His ability to combine elite passing and rushing skills makes him a nightmare for opposing defenses.

Beyond the numbers, Jackson’s leadership and playmaking ability have propelled the Ravens to their third consecutive playoff berth. With one game left in the regular season, the Ravens remain focused on securing the AFC North title by defeating the Cleveland Browns next week.

What’s Next for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens

The Ravens are riding high with three consecutive wins, and Jackson’s record-setting night adds momentum to their playoff push. Baltimore will need Jackson to continue his brilliance as they aim for a deep postseason run.

For the Texans, the loss highlighted the challenges they face without key players like Tank Dell. Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud struggled, throwing for just 185 yards and an interception while enduring five sacks.

As the regular season nears its conclusion, Lamar Jackson’s record and the Ravens’ dominance send a clear message: Baltimore is a team to watch in the playoffs.

This game wasn’t just about football; it was about rewriting the record books. With Jackson leading the charge, the Ravens look poised to make noise in the postseason. Fans can only imagine what he will accomplish next.
