The Baltimore Ravens have taken down yet another foe, this time the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. In beating the 49ers, 20-17, the Ravens continue their winning streak as they march towards the postseason.
If you weren’t playing close enough attention, you might have missed some pretty amazing stats from this game.
Lamar Jackson climbing the charts
With his 101 rushing yards, Jackson moves firmly into second on the NFL’s most single-season rushing yards by a quarterback list. His 977 rushing yards through 12 games is just 62 fewer than Michael Vick’s total from 2006. That means Jackson needs to average just 16 yards in each of the four remaining games to take the record by the end of the season.
In this process, Jackson has broken yet another record. Week 13 marked his fourth 100-yard rushing game this season, beating a tie between Vick and Russell Wilson at three.
But that’s not all folks. Remember all the people that said Jackson can’t throw the football? Well, after 13 weeks, here’s where Jackson ranks in a number of key passing stats:
Passing TDs: 1st (25)
Passing TD%: 1st (7.8%)
Passer rating: 4th (109.6)
Long pass: 4th (83 yards)
Passing yards per attempt: 9th (7.9 yards)
Interceptions: 2nd fewest among quarterbacks with 12 starts (5)
INT%: 7th (1.55%)
Jackson is a top quarterback in every major category outside of passing yards. When combined with how prolific he is on the ground and the trail of broken records behind him, it’s clear Jackson is something special.
