Lamar Jackson had a productive outing on the ground in the Baltimore Ravens’ Week 6 win over the Tennessee Titans.
Jackson rushed the football 13 times for 62 yards against Tennessee. He has tallied three games with 50-plus rushing yards this season, including a 101 rushing yards showing in Baltimore’s home loss to the Indianapolis Colts last month.
Overall, Jackson has recorded 50 career games with at least 50 rushing yards, which is the second-most all-time among quarterbacks. Former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick holds the top spot on this leaderboard with 54 such games, as noted by StatMuse.
It sure is only a matter of time before Jackson breaks this record. Jackson has not been called on to regularly roll with designed run plays as of late, but he is one quarterback who can catch opposing defenses off guard with big gains on the ground.
Jackson will be in for quite a test in the Ravens’ upcoming Week 7 home matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Lions currently lead the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game with a 64.7 average.
Jackson’s lone meeting against Detroit came in Week 3 of the 2021 season when he logged 58 rushing yards.
