Lamar becomes 1st QB with 4K pass yards, 800 rush yards in season

Baltimore Ravens superstar Lamar Jackson became the first quarterback in NFL history to eclipse 4,000 passing yards and 800 rushing yards in a single season.

Jackson reached the milestone after throwing a touchdown pass to tight end Mark Andrews in Saturday's game against the Cleveland Browns. It was Jackson's career-high 40th passing touchdown of the season.

He finished the game 16-for-32 passing with 217 yards and two touchdowns. Jackson has a career-high completion percentage (67.9%) and yards per attempt average (8.9) this campaign, as well as his second-lowest interception total in a season.

"What else needs to be said," head coach John Harbaugh said postgame, per ESPN's Jamison Hensley. "He's a fighter. He's one of a kind. There's nobody like Lamar Jackson."

Last season, Jackson passed for 3,678 yards and 24 passing touchdowns, plus 821 rushing yards and seven interceptions en route to winning his second league MVP award. Jackson finishes this regular season with 4,172 passing yards and 41 passing touchdowns, plus 915 rushing yards and four interceptions.

The seven-year veteran is also the first quarterback in NFL history to throw more than 40 touchdowns and fewer than five interceptions in a single season. He ranks sixth in the league in passing yards and second in rushing among quarterbacks.

Jackson's performance helped the Ravens clinch the AFC North for the second straight year with a 12-5 record. Baltimore's the No. 3 seed in the AFC and is waiting to find out its opponent for the wild-card round next weekend.
