Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is something special. When a defense thinks they have him, he makes them look stupid. The Tennessee Titans are the latest to see the phenomenon in person.
Jackson turned a potential sack on 3rd-and-9 into a 48-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 10 each. With nothing open and the pocket collapsing around him, Jackson took off running and turned it into a race downfield. Unfortunately for Tennessee, no one was fast enough to chase Jackson down, seeing him hit the corner of the end zone for the touchdown run.
