Lamar Jackson was on top of his game in the Baltimore Ravens’ home win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11.

The Bengals did not have much of an answer for Jackson in the air. Jackson threw for 264 passing yards and two passing touchdowns against Cincinnati. The two-time Pro Bowler logged a 121.3 passer rating in the divisional contest — the third-highest such mark of his season.

Jackson also made history in Baltimore’s 34-20 victory on the day.

As noted by ESPN Stats and Info, Jackson tallied the 20th game of his career with multiple touchdowns and at least 50 rushing yards, which moved him into a tie with Michael Vick and Randall Cunningham for the second-most such outings in NFL history. Cam Newton sits atop this leaderboard with 23 such games.

It sure is only a matter of time before Jackson shatters this record.

Overall, Jackson has continued to have his way against the Bengals. He now holds an 8-1 record as a starter against Cincinnati, and he has thrown 14 touchdown passes in such contests.

Jackson and the Ravens remain in first place in the AFC North standings with an 8-3 record.
