Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has had his way on the ground in his postseason career.
Jackson is just coming off of a potent performance in Baltimore’s AFC divisional round win over the Houston Texans. He not only threw a pair of touchdown passes against the Texans, but he also rushed for 100 yards and two rushing scores in the contest.
Overall, Jackson has reached the 100 rushing yards mark in three out of his first five career playoff games.
As noted by NFL Communications, Jackson needs to tally 100-plus rushing yards in the Ravens’ upcoming AFC title game matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs to become the fifth player in NFL history to log at least 100 such yards in four of his first six playoff contests. He would then join Terrell Davis (five games), John Riggins (five), Emmitt Smith (four), and Marshawn Lynch (four) as the only players ever to reach this feat.
Jackson is set to square off with a Chiefs defense that notched a 113.2 rushing yards per game allowed average in the regular season.
