Lamar Jackson put together a performance to remember in the Baltimore Ravens' 38-6 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 7.
The showdown between the two division leaders was expected to be a back-and-forth duel, but by the time that the clock hit double-zero, it was Jackson who had the last laugh. From the 357 passing yards logged to the four total touchdowns scored, he orchestrated arguably the most prolific showing of his sixth season with the Ravens.
Jackson made a bit of history in Week 7. Among quarterbacks who debuted in the Super Bowl era, he became the fifth-fastest to reach 50 wins, as he managed to do so in the 68th start of his career, as noted by ESPN Stats and Info. Only Ken Stabler (62 games), Patrick Mahomes (63), Tom Brady (65), and Roger Staubach (67) sit above the two-time Pro Bowler on this leaderboard.
Jackson now boasts a 50-18 record as a starter with the Ravens.
Overall, Baltimore enjoyed much success on offense against Detroit. The current AFC North leaders notched a 9.1 yards per play average and scored a touchdown on five out of their six total trips to the red zone.
The Ravens will look to string together a three-game winning streak when they meet the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8.
