Lamar Jackson is on track to go down as one of the best and most electrifying quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL. That much is a guarantee as the Baltimore Ravens signal-caller continues to make history early in his career.
Jackson, drafted 32nd overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, already has two MVP awards to his name in just seven seasons in the league. This 2024, he’s once again the favorite to bag the NFL’s top individual award amid another sensational run.
On Thursday, after they faced the Cincinnati Bengals in their Week 9 primetime showdown, the Ravens quarterback impressed once again. Jackson finished with 290 yards and four touchdowns on 25-of-33 pass completion to lead Baltimore’s insane 35-34 comeback victory.
In the process, Jackson entered elite company, becoming just the fourth player to have at least 10 games with four or more passing touchdowns before turning 28.
The Thursday Night Football clash was Jackson’s 10th game to have such stat line. Dan Marino (16), Patrick Mahomes (16) and Brett Favre (11) are the only players to have more, per NFL researcher Tony Holzman-Escareno .
