Baltimore, MD – December 26, 2024
In a commanding 31-2 victory over the Houston Texans on Christmas Day, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson not only led his team to a decisive win but also etched his name into NFL history. Jackson surpassed Michael Vick's record for the most career rushing yards by a quarterback, now totaling 6,110 yards.
Record-Breaking Performance
Jackson's performance was a testament to his dual-threat capabilities. He completed 10 of 15 passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 87 yards, including a 48-yard touchdown run. This victory brings the Ravens' season record to 11-5, positioning them at the top of the AFC North division. A win against Cleveland next week would secure the division title for Baltimore.
Holiday Spirit and Fan Engagement
Beyond his on-field achievements, Jackson's holiday spirit shone brightly. During the fourth quarter, he made a special trip to the locker room and returned to gift a young fan his black and purple beanie. The fan, wearing a Jackson jersey, was visibly delighted by the gesture.
Looking Ahead
As the Ravens prepare for their upcoming game against the Cleveland Browns, Jackson's leadership and the team's strong performance position them as formidable contenders in the AFC playoffs. Fans and analysts alike will be keenly watching to see if Baltimore can maintain their momentum and secure the division title.
