The legend of Lamar Jackson<\/a> continues to grow. The star quarterback led the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> back from a 16-point, fourth-quarter deficit, engineering three consecutive touchdown drives (two of which included two-point conversions) to secure his team a 31-25 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Along the way, Jackson completed 37 of 43 passes for 442 yards and four touchdowns. (He added six carries for 30 yards for good measure.) If that sounds like a really, really good stat line to you: good. It is.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 442 passing yards set a Baltimore Ravens record<\/a> for a single game. Jackson became the first player in history<\/a> to throw for 400 yards and four touchdowns while completing at least 85 percent of his throws, while his 86 percent completion rate was the highest of all time for a player who threw for at least 400 yards. The 86 percent mark was also the highest among <\/a>the 4,017 games in which a player attempted at least 40 passes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jackson primarily got his yards (and got all of his scores) by repeatedly targeting his two top weapons: Mark Andrews<\/a> and Marquise Brown<\/a>. Jackson found seven other receivers with at least two passes, but Andrews and Brown accounted for 272 of the 442 yards through the air.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Andrews had his best game of the season, catching 11 of 13 passes thrown his way for 147 yards and two touchdowns — the two the Ravens needed to tie the game in the fourth quarter. Brown hauled in 9 of 10 targets for 125 yards and two scores of his own, including the game-winner in overtime.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Lamar Jackson tallied 442 passing yards and four touchdowns on Monday night as the Ravens erased a 22-3 deficit in a way over the Colts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jackson and the Ravens offense struggled out of the gate early as they hosted the Colts at M&T Bank Stadium. Indianapolis held Baltimore to just three first half points, and a fumble by Jackson led to a 22-3 Colts lead<\/a> midway through the third quarter. But when the chips were down, Jackson delivered.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2019 MVP ripped off three straight touchdown drives to end regulation, adding a pair of two-point conversions. With 39 seconds to play, the 22-3 deficit was erased in a 25-25 tie.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jackson had some help as he forced overtime for the Ravens. Colts kicker Rodrigo Blankenship missed two field goals and one extra point on Monday, including a 37-yard attempt as time expired. The Ravens then won the toss and promptly marched down the field, ending the contest on a five-yard toss from Jackson to wide receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday night marked a pair of impressive records for Jackson. He is now the only quarterback in NFL history to total\u00a0400 yards passing, 4 touchdown passes, zero interceptions and 50 yards rushing in a single game, and his 34 wins before turning 25 is tied with Dan Marino for the most in NFL history. Jackson will turn 25 on Jan. 7.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ravens advanced to 4\u20131 in 2021 with Monday’s victory, and they’ve fared well in nail-biters of late. Baltimore pulled off a 36-35 win over Kansas City<\/a> on Sept. 19, and they beat the Lions one week later on a 66-yard field goal from kicker Justin Tucker<\/a>. Perhaps more magic will be in store in January as the Ravens vie for the Lombardi Trophy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n

7 crazy stats as Lamar Jackson leads Ravens comeback over Colts on ‘Monday Night Football’<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
The Ravens (4-1) and Colts (1-4) put on an incredible show in their “Monday Night Football” matchup, with Lamar Jackson leading Baltimore back from a sluggish start \u2014 and a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit \u2014 to beat Indianapolis 31-25 in overtime.<\/strong>The game featured several outstanding performances, not only from Jackson (37-of-43 passing, 442 yards, four touchdowns) and Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (25-of-35 passing, 402 yards, two touchdowns) but also Mark Andrews. The Ravens tight end had a breakout game, catching 11 passes for 147 yards and his first two receiving scores of the season. Both touchdowns came during the Ravens’ comeback bid. Not only that, he also made two catches to convert 2-point attempts.<\/strong>There was more to Monday’s showdown than just insane individual performances. It also featured broken streaks and something that hasn’t occurred in three seasons.<\/strong>With that, here are seven crazy stats from the Ravens’ “Monday Night Football” comeback victory over the Colts:<\/strong><\/p>\n

442<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jackson’s passing yards against the Colts\u00a0smashed his previous high of 324 yards, set on Sept. 8, 2019, against the Dolphins. Here’s a little more context to how impressive Jackson’s new passing mark is: He had 335 passing yards in the second half and OT <\/em>to obliterate his previous mark. He had\u00a0107\u00a0passing yards at the half.<\/strong><\/p>\n

86.0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Apart from the passing yards, Jackson became the first NFL quarterback in history to complete at least 85 percent of his passes while throwing for more than 400 yards. Per ESPN Stats & Info<\/a>, that’s also a record for quarterbacks who have thrown 40-plus passes in a game. Add to that his four passing touchdowns, and Jackson had one of the greatest single-game passing performances in NFL history.<\/strong><\/p>\n

504<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jackson did it in more ways than one against the Colts: He also had 62 rushing yards on the night. Why does that matter? Because that gave him 504\u00a0yards of total offense for the game. According to Pro Football Reference<\/a>, that ties him with quarterbacks Drew Brees, Jake Plummer and Matt Schaub for 13th-most all time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jackson wasn’t the only quarterback with a good night Monday. His Colts counterpart, Carson Wentz, completed 25 of 35 passes for 402 yards and two scores. Jackson and Wentz combined for 844 yards and six touchdowns passing, with zero interceptions. Per ProFootballTalk<\/a>, they are the first quarterbacks in three seasons to both throw for 400-plus yards.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coincidentally, the last pair to do that \u2014 Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes (478) and the LA Rams’ Jared Goff (413) in 2018 \u2014 also accomplished the feat on “Monday Night Football.” That game resulted in a 54-51 victory for the Chiefs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

120-1<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Prior to Monday, the Colts boasted a 120-0 record when leading by 16 points in the fourth quarter. But Baltimore scored two touchdowns and two 2-point conversions to the game 25-25 and sending it to overtime. The Colts never got a chance to extend that streak as Jackson marched Baltimore downfield and won the game with his fourth touchdown pass of the night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

43<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lost in the Ravens’ overtime victory: their NFL-record 43-game streak of rushing for 100 yards or more. Baltimore finished with 86 yards on the ground. The Ravens will have to settle for being tied with the Steelers for the NFL’s longest such streak. Pittsburgh’s streak lasted from 1974-77. The Ravens’ streak began in 2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Somehow, we don’t think they mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n

34<\/strong><\/h2>\n

That’s how many wins Jackson now has credited to him as a quarterback. He tied former Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino for the NFL record for most QB wins before age 25. Jackson will turn 25 on Jan. 7.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson<\/a> did it again, thrilling every one of those who witnessed the Ravens’ 31-25<\/a> comeback win over the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Even those who’ve been around the game far longer than his 24 years on earth were left in amazement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It was one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said after the game.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jackson rallied the Ravens from a 25-9 fourth-quarter deficit, leading three consecutive touchdown drives to send it into overtime. His fourth straight TD drive came in OT, where he ended the game on a five-yard toss to Marquise Brown<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jackson’s impressive night ended with a career-high 442 passing yards and four touchdowns on 37 of 43 passes with no interceptions. He added a team-high 62 yards on the ground. On a night where the Ravens fell one game short of breaking a tie for the NFL record for consecutive 100-yard rushing games<\/a>, Jackson decided to set the franchise’s single-game passing record.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It wasn’t easy. I mean, it wasn’t like we came out up and down the field,” Harbaugh said. “We had to overcome and fight through some things. … He just came alive like all of our guys did. All of the guys made plays, but it starts with Lamar. He deserves the credit.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Per Next Gen Stats, the Ravens had a 4% win probability when the Colts took a 22-3 lead with 3:11 left in the third quarter. The Ravens flipped that number into an 86% chance of winning at the time he lined up for the game’s final play.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“To be honest, it wasn’t a doubt in my mind,” Jackson said about his team’s chances of pulling off the comeback win in OT. “Our team, we hit that peak that we needed at the right time in the second half. We just knew it was one play at a time — that’s all we kept saying in the huddle.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jackson’s night didn’t come without any miscues. His third-quarter fumble at the goal line aided the Colts’ early lead and continued a night that seemed destined to end in disappointment. Jackson never wavered, however, and by virtue of his uncanny ability to extend plays with his feet and a capacity to seemingly never miss a receiver on this night, the Ravens (4-1) won their fourth consecutive game thanks to one of the most memorable one-man performances.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I was just locked in,” Jackson recalled. “I was just calm, everything was moving slow. I was just taking it a play at a time.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lamar Demeatrice Jackson Jr. (born January 7, 1997) is an American football<\/a> quarterback<\/a> for the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> of the National Football League<\/a> (NFL). While playing college football at Louisville<\/a>, he won the Heisman Trophy<\/a>, Maxwell Award<\/a>, Walter Camp Award<\/a>, and was unanimously selected as an All-American<\/a> during his sophomore year in 2016.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jackson was the 32nd pick in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft<\/a> when he was selected by the Ravens on their final pick. He began his rookie season as a backup, but became the team’s starting quarterback following an injury to starter Joe Flacco<\/a>. Jackson helped the team clinch the AFC North<\/a> division title and became the youngest quarterback to start a playoff game<\/a>. In 2019, his first full season as starter, Jackson set a record for the most rushing yards<\/a> in a season by a quarterback, led the league with 36 touchdown passes, and became the second unanimous NFL Most Valuable Player<\/a> winner in league history. He was the fourth African-American quarterback to win the award.<\/sup> In 2020, he became the first quarterback to rush for 1,000 yards in a season more than once.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Early years<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jackson was born to Felicia Jones and Lamar Jackson, Sr. on January 7, 1997.<\/sup> He grew up in the center of an economically distressed section of Pompano Beach, Florida<\/a>. Jackson’s father died from a heart attack on the same day his grandmother died in 2005, when Jackson was 8 years old. His siblings and he were raised by their mother.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He attended public schools and played Pop Warner football<\/a> in the same Florida league with future team-mate and Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown<\/a>.<\/sup> When he was 8 years old, Jackson could throw a football 20 yards. In high school, Jackson threw a football 100 yards.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jackson was a standout quarterback at Boynton Beach High School<\/a> in Boynton Beach, Florida<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/sup> At Boynton Beach, Jackson was a successful read-option quarterback who could run and throw the ball equally well. He improved passing accuracy and decision-making by watching hours of film each week.\u00a0 In two years at Boynton Beach, Jackson threw for 2,263 yards and 31 touchdowns with nine interceptions. Additionally, he ran for 1,624 yards and 22 touchdowns, and had a quarterback rating of 102.7.\u00a0 Jackson’s last high school game came against a nationally ranked Miami Central High School<\/a> team during the first round of the 2014 Florida High School Football Playoff 6A tournament. Boynton Beach was soundly defeated 49\u20136, with Jackson throwing two interceptions.\u00a0 He also competed for his high school track team, posting a personal record of 11.45 seconds in the 100 meter dash in one track meet.\u00a0 Jackson was named the Lou Groza<\/a> Palm Beach County High School Player of the Year in 2014.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recruiting<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Despite some disagreement by recruiting companies over his caliber (Jackson was rated three stars by ESPN.com and 247Sports, but four stars by Rivals.com<\/a>, he received offers from both Power Five<\/a> schools like Louisville<\/a>, Florida<\/a>, Auburn<\/a>, and Clemson<\/a>, and mid-major<\/a> programs like Akron<\/a>, Western Kentucky<\/a>, and Marshall<\/a>. All of the major recruiting companies listed Jackson as a top 20 dual-threat quarterback<\/a>, with 247Sports ranking him as high as #12. Jackson’s in-state ranking also varied greatly, from as high as #51 from Rivals to as low as #80 by ESPN. Jackson visited only four schools (Louisville, Florida, Nebraska<\/a>, and Mississippi State<\/a>), and after appearing that he might sign with Florida, Jackson ultimately committed to the University of Louisville<\/a> after head coach Bobby Petrino<\/a> promised Jackson’s mother that her son would be playing quarterback and nothing else.<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been perhaps the NFL’s most electric quarterback since<\/a> entering the league in 2018, and he added another performance to remember on Monday night.<\/strong><\/p>\n
