Lamar Jackson Breaks NFL QB Rushing Record, Surpasses Michael Vick
HOUSTON — Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson made history on Christmas Day by breaking the NFL quarterback rushing record previously held by Michael Vick. In a dominating 31-2 victory over the Houston Texans, Jackson showcased his incredible speed and agility, solidifying his place in football history.
Record-Breaking Run
With 87 rushing yards in the game, Jackson surpassed Vick’s total career rushing yards, now standing at an impressive 6,110 yards. The record-breaking moment came in the third quarter when Jackson scrambled for a 6-yard gain, setting up a touchdown pass to tight end Mark Andrews. Reflecting on this achievement, Jackson expressed his gratitude and admiration for Vick, calling it “unreal” to break a record held by one of his favorite players.
Impressive Speed
One of the most remarkable aspects of Jackson’s accomplishment is the speed at which he achieved it. Vick took 13 years and 143 games to reach his rushing milestone, while Jackson managed to do it in just 102 games over seven seasons. Ravens coach John Harbaugh praised Jackson for his consistent excellence on the field and resilience in overcoming challenges along the way.
Unstoppable Force
Despite criticism earlier in the season for not running more, Jackson demonstrated his ability to impact the game with his legs when needed. His 48-yard touchdown run against the Texans showcased his speed, agility, and unmatched skill as a dual-threat quarterback. Teammates and coaches alike marveled at Jackson’s effortless running style and his ability to outpace defenders with ease.
As the Ravens strive for another AFC North title, Jackson’s record-breaking performance serves as a testament to his exceptional talent and determination. With his unique running abilities and unparalleled speed, Lamar Jackson has solidified his place as one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in NFL history.
