Lamar Jackson Joins NFL Legend Michael Vick in the History Books with 6,000 Career Rushing Yards

Lamar Jackson dazzled fans yet again on Sunday as the Baltimore Ravens dominated the New York Giants, securing a 9-5 record on the season. Jackson’s incredible performance featured 21 completions on 25 attempts for 290 passing yards, five touchdowns, and an additional 65 rushing yards on just six carries. While his aerial display was nothing short of spectacular, it was his performance on the ground that added a historic milestone to his already impressive career.

With his 65 rushing yards, Jackson surpassed 6,000 career rushing yards, becoming just the second quarterback in NFL history to achieve this feat. The only other quarterback to accomplish this is the legendary Michael Vick, the all-time leader in quarterback rushing yards.

A Historic Milestone: Joining Vick in Elite Company

This achievement is a testament to Jackson’s game-changing skill set and his status as one of the most dynamic quarterbacks the NFL has ever seen. Jackson now stands on the brink of overtaking Vick’s all-time rushing record, needing just over 100 more yards to claim the top spot.

Michael Vick revolutionized the quarterback position with his ability to not only deliver passes but also create explosive plays with his legs. Lamar Jackson has taken that legacy and built upon it, showcasing his unique combination of speed, agility, and football IQ. Jackson’s ability to extend plays and turn seemingly broken situations into spectacular gains has made him one of the most electrifying playmakers in NFL history.

The Bigger Picture: Super Bowl Aspirations

Despite the historic milestone, Jackson remains laser-focused on what matters most—winning a Super Bowl championship. While his individual accolades continue to pile up, Jackson and the Ravens are locked in a fierce battle for playoff positioning as the season approaches its final weeks.

Next up for Baltimore is a high-stakes Week 16 showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a game with massive implications for the AFC North title race.

  • If the Steelers win, they’ll clinch the division crown and secure a top-four playoff seed.
  • If the Ravens win, they’ll stay alive in the race for the division and potentially earn a home playoff game.

For the Ravens, this isn’t just another game—it’s a chance to take control of their postseason destiny. For Jackson, it’s an opportunity to further demonstrate why he’s one of the most valuable players in the NFL.

Looking Ahead

As the Ravens prepare for one of the most pivotal games of their season, Lamar Jackson’s historic accomplishment serves as a reminder of just how special his career has been. With 6,000 rushing yards under his belt, Jackson continues to redefine what it means to play quarterback in the NFL.

But for Jackson and the Ravens, the ultimate goal remains clear. As they march toward the playoffs, they’ll look to channel their recent success into a deeper postseason run and—just maybe—a shot at Super Bowl glory.

The race to the top of the AFC North is far from over, and with Jackson at the helm, the Ravens have every reason to believe their best football is still ahead of them. One thing is certain: the NFL is witnessing greatness in real time.
