Lamar Jackson Becomes Only The Second Quarterback Ever To Rush For 1000 Yards In One NFL Regular Season

Lamar Jackson of Pompano Beach, Florida accomplished a unique National Football League milestone on Sunday that has only been accomplished by one other quarterback in NFL history. In the Ravens’ 24-17 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Jackson became only the second quarterback ever to rush for 1000 yards in a season.

He joins Michael Vick of Newport News, Virginia, who had 1039 rushing yards with the Atlanta Falcons in 2006. There is a very strong possibility that Jackson, who is currently at 1017 rushing yards, will break Vick’s record on Thursday. In a primetime Thursday night matchup, the Ravens host the New York Jets from M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland.



Jackson had 11 carries for 40 yards in the contest. Interestingly, Jackson’s rushing yard total was the second-fewest yards he has had in a game this season. The fewest ironically came in a game when Baltimore did not need Jackson’s running ability to throttle Miami. On the opening day of their 2019 regular season schedule on September 8, the Ravens clobbered the Dolphins 59-10. Jackson only had six rushing yards, but made up for his lack of rushing yards with five touchdown passes and an excellent quarterback rating of 158.3.

In Baltimore’s seven point win over Buffalo, Jackson did complete 16 of 25 passes for 145 yards and three touchdowns. Two of those touchdowns were to tight ends Hayden Hurst and Nick Boyle. Ravens tight end Mark Andrews did not finish the game because of a knee injury.

At 11-2, Baltimore is one of two teams in the AFC that has clinched a playoff spot. The other team is the Kansas City Chiefs, who beat the New England Patriots 23-16 on Sunday. With the win, the Chiefs have won the AFC West.
