The Baltimore Ravens had multiple standout performers in their overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3. Among them, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson put together quite a performance on the ground.
The Colts had a difficult time containing Jackson whenever he decided to run with the football, as he tallied 101 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns on a 7.2 yards per rush attempt average. The sixth-year passer did not log a single rushing yard during the overtime period.
Jackson opened up the scoring in the game on the ground. He capped off a 12-play, 80-yard drive with an 8-yard touchdown run during the first quarter.
Jackson made a bit of history with the 25th rushing touchdown of his run with the Ravens. As noted by StatMuse, the two-time Pro Bowler became the fifth player in NFL history to record at least 100 touchdown passes and 25 rushing scores in the first six years of his career. Josh Allen, Daunte Culpepper, Cam Newton, and Dak Prescott are the only other players ever who have reached this feat.
Overall, Jackson also reached the 100 rushing yards mark in a game for the 13th time in his career.
Jackson and the Ravens will now look ahead to a road matchup against the Cleveland Browns coming up in Week 4.
