Justin Madubuike ties NFL record of 11 straight games with at least a half-sack

Justin Madubuike ties NFL record of 11 straight games with at least a half-sack

Another week, another sack for Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Justin Madubuike.

The fourth-year defensive tackle tied the NFL record of 11 straight games with at least a half-sack with his strip sack against Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the Ravens’ 23-7 victory on Sunday Night Football.

Madubuike now has 12 sacks for the year, with three games remaining on the schedule for the regular season. The 2020 third-round pick is gearing up for a massive payday this offseason as he is currently set to hit the open market as a free agent.

Spotrac.com currently has a three-year calculated market value of $55.3 million, with an average annual salary of $18.4 million for Madubuike. Meanwhile, overthecap.com says the franchise tag for defensive tackles in 2024 is estimated to be $19.7 million.

Following the game, Madubuike revealed that his goal for the season is to hit 15 sacks. Madubuike currently leads all interior defensive linemen in sacks this season and is ninth among all players in the league.

Baltimore will have to make tough decisions this offseason, with several key players hitting free agency looking to cash out, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.

Statistical Breakdown: How the Ravens and Jaguars stack up for Week 15

We’re looking at how the Batlimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars stack up statistically ahead of their Week 15 matchup on Sunday night

The Ravens are 10-3, looking like a Super Bowl hopeful and among the four teams that can clinch postseason berths in Week 15.

Baltimore visits the Jacksonville Jaguars (8-5) on Sunday night in what could be a potential playoff preview.

Jacksonville will look to rebound after suffering their second loss in six days, as quarterback Trevor Lawrence finished 28 of 50 for 257 yards and three interceptions.

With preparation underway for both teams, here’s a statistical comparison for Week 15.

Lamar Jackson eclipsed 5,000 career rushing yards against Chargers

Lamar Jackson sets record for fastest QB to 5,000 rushing yards

The Baltimore Ravens improved to 9-3 and maintained possession of the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a 20-10 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12.

During the game on Sunday Night Football, quarterback Lamar Jackson crossed a monumental milestone as he became just the fourth-ever quarterback to reach 5,000 career rushing yards, joining Michael Vick, Cam Newton, and Russell Wilson. Of the four, Jackson was the fastest to reach the mark in just 82 games, whereas it took Vick 104, Newton 129, and Wilson 175.

In his sixth NFL season, Jackson has firmly planted his name in the conversation for the best-rushing quarterback the league has ever seen. Needing just 1,098 rushing yards to reach Vick at the top of the list, and with plenty of NFL seasons ahead for the 26-year-old signal caller, it seems inevitable that Jackson will one day soon become the all-time leading rusher at the quarterback position.

Through 12 weeks of the 2023 NFL season, Jackson leads all quarterbacks in rushing yards with 574 and is second on the Ravens, trailing only running back Gus Edwards by 16 yards.

Justin Madubuike becomes first Ravens player since 2017 to reach 10 sacks

Justin Madubuike becomes first Ravens player to reach 10 sacks since Terrell Suggs.

During a 20-10 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 12, Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Justin Madubuike combined with second-year defensive tackle Travis Jones to bring down quarterback Justin Herbert for a loss of seven yards on first down during the Chargers’ third offensive series of the game.

This half-sack put Madubuike at 10 total sacks for the season, making him the first player for the Ravens to reach the double digits since outside linebacker Terrell Suggs finished with 11 in 2017.

Madubuike has had at least half a sack in a franchise-record nine games in a row. He leads all interior defensive linemen in the NFL in sacks through 12 weeks of the season. The 2020 third-round pick out of Texas A&M will receive a massive payday this offseason, whether from Baltimore or another team in free agency. Spotrac.com projects Madubuike’s market value to be a three-year, $55.3 million contract with an average salary of $18.4 million.

With QB Lamar Jackson taking up a significant portion of the salary cap (his cap number is $32.4 million in 2024), the Ravens will have a more challenging time keeping players such as Madubuike around for the long term. Baltimore will have a compensatory pick heading their way in the 2025 draft if they decide to let Madubuike walk or are outbid for him in free agency this offseason.

Lamar Jackson could hit major career milestone against the Chargers in Week 12

Lamar Jackson could become just the fourth-ever quarterback to reach 5,000 career rushing yards, joining Michael Vick, Cam Newton, and Russell Wilson.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has accomplished many feats since entering the NFL as the last pick in the first round of the 2018 draft.

The former unanimous MVP has already established himself as one of the best rushing quarterbacks of all time, and against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12 on Sunday Football, he could become just the fourth-ever quarterback to reach 5,000 career rushing yards, joining Michael Vick, Cam Newton, and Russell Wilson.

Jackson needs 28 rushing yards against the Chargers to cross the career milestone. Jackson was asked if joining the quarterbacks mentioned above would have any significance to him.

“I’m in line with the greats, so that’s pretty cool,” Jackson said. “No doubt. I’m cool with that, that’s nice.”

Jackson will have surpassed 5,000 rushing yards in the fewest games ever for a quarterback, as it took over 100 games for Vick, Newton, and Wilson, while this Sunday will be Jackson’s 82nd career game.

Despite talks of Jackson running less under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, the sixth-year quarterback is still second on the team in rushing yards with 535, just 29 yards behind running back Gus Edwards for the season. He also has five touchdowns on the ground, second to Edwards’ 10. Jackson leads the next-highest quarterback, Joshua Dobbs, by 146 rushing yards.

While concerns of injury are always present for a quarterback who runs as much as Jackson does, he has shown a knack for avoiding big hits as a runner, with his last two season-ending injuries occurring as a passer. It would be foolish to strip Jackson of such a significant part of his game and something that has made him one of the most demanding players to defend in the entire NFL.
