On Sunday Night Football, Lamar carried his team to a 36-35 victory at home, as he racked up 239 yards and one touchdown. In 2020, Jackson celebrated one more major milestone against Cincinnati in Week 17, when he became the first NFL quarterback with multiple 1,000-yard rushing seasons.

It will come as no shock that amid contract issues between Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, the quarterback will not be showing up for the beginning of offseason workouts. Amid doubt over his abilities as a QB, he made an immediate impact in Baltimore and broke numerous NFL records during the 2019 season. But deals signed by other standout quarterbacks since then were not fully guaranteed, and the Ravens appeared to be balking at such a contract. Maybe it's time for NFL players to drop the dead weight and start negotiating their own contracts! Physically present in AZ/CO/CT/IL/IN/IA/KS/LA (select parishes)/MA/MD/MI/NH/NJ/NY/OH/OR/PA/TN/VA/WV/WY only. Jackson, 26, represented himself in negotiations. Here are some of the most jaw-dropping. His five 100-yard rushing games are the most ever by a 22-year old quarterback, with only one other player having as many as three.<\/p>\n
His 36 passing touchdowns are the most in a single season for a quarterback under the age of 23, with no one else above 30. <\/p>\n
His 113.3 season passer rating is also a record-high at his age, with only Deshaun Watson (103.0) and Robert Griffin III (102.4) even above 100. His feat is likely going to make him only the second NFL MVP younger than 23<\/a>, alongside the legendary Jim Brown.<\/p>\n
