Lamar Jackson Breaks Another Record
Lamar Jackson now stands alone as the NFL's most prolific quarterback when it comes to the ground game.
In Wednesday's 31-2 win over the Houston Texans, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback broke Michael Vick's record for career rushing yards (6,109) by a quarterback. Jackson, who is in his seventh season, accomplished the feat despite playing in 41 fewer games than Vick (143 to 102).
Jackson set the mark on a 6-yard run in the third quarter. He finished with 87 rushing yards on four carries, which included a 48-yard touchdown run.

Prior to the season, the two-time NFL MVP, who is firmly in the mix for a third award this year, stated that he did not place much emphasis on the record.
After the game, Jackson said he was "grateful" to break the record held by "one of my favorite players."
