Additional Lamar Jackson Rushing Records:

  • Most 100-yard rushing performances (14) and 50-yard rushing performances (61) by a QB in NFL history.
  • Most 1,000- (two), 800- (three), 700- (six) and 600-yard (seven) rushing seasons, respectively, by a QB in NFL history. Jackson is also tied (with Cam Newton) for the most 500-yard rushing seasons (seven) by a QB.
  • Fastest QB in NFL history to reach 6,000 career rushing yards (100 games).
  • Most consecutive seasons (six seasons, 2019-24) regardless of position, with at least 700 rushing yards on 5-or-more yards per carry since the 1970 merger.
  • Jackson, who is 8 rushes shy of 1,000 entering Week 17, will own the highest rushing yards per carry average (6.0) by any player in NFL history who's registered at least 1,000 attempts.
  • Jackson has registered at least 600 rushing yards, 4.5 yards per carry and 2 rushing TDs in all seven years of his career. The seven straight seasons (2018-24) reaching those marks ties RB Aaron Jones (2018-24) for the longest such streak by any player since the 1970 merger, regardless of position.

2019: Preseason 2 vs. Green Bay Packers (August 15, 2019)

It doesn't count towards the record because it was in the preseason (and negated by a penalty) but this run gave fans a taste of what Jackson's 2019 season would look like. Plus, he hurdled his old college teammate, Jaire Alexander.

14. NO CHANCE

2023: Week 16 at San Francisco 49ers (December 25, 2023)

Jackson gave Ravens fans a Christmas to remember when the Ravens routed the 49ers in 2023. One of the game's iconic plays was Jackson's 18 yards run on third-and-16 where he put All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner on skates.

2024: Week 10 vs. Cincinnati Bengals (November 7, 2024)

This isn't the last time the Bengals will be on this list. Jackson somehow turned a 20-yard sack into a 10-yard gain and almost punched it at the end. He ran 58.1 yards on the play and retreated all the way back to the 31-yard line.

2019: Week 7 at Seattle Seahawks (October 20, 2019)

John Harbaugh let his quarterback decide what he wanted to do on fourth down, and Jackson's answer was a resounding "hell yeah, coach, let's go for it!" It was the right call as Jackson darted through the line, past the first down marker, and extended the ball into the end zone.

10. AN EVEN 50

2020: Week 4 at Washington Football Team (October 4, 2020)

There weren't fans in the stands to see it, but Jackson's 50-yard touchdown will make it into his all-time highlight reel. Jackson was just too fast for the Washington defense, which had a handful of players chasing him to no avail.

2021: Week 1 at Las Vegas Raiders (September 13, 2021)

8. BEATIN’ THE BIRDS

2020: Week 6 at Philadelphia Eagles (October 18, 2020)

If he sees a hole, he's probably gone. The Eagles defense froze on a fake handoff to J.K. Dobbins, giving Jackson a gap in the middle, and he never stopped running.

2019: Week 13 vs. San Francisco 49ers (December 1, 2019)

Even the rain can't stop Jackson. On a sloppy day in Baltimore, Jackson jabbed his left foot into the grass, sending 49ers defensive back K'Waun Williams to the ground in what was one of the most impressive 11-yard gains you will see.

2019: Week 14 at Buffalo Bills (December 8, 2019)

Bills linebacker Matt Milano went down in a hurry. One-on-one in the backfield, Jackson hit Milano with a "shake-and-bake" that sent him to the grass. The run put Jackson over 1,000 rushing yards for the season.

2020: Wild Card at Tennessee Titans (January 11, 2020)

Jackson completely silenced the Titans crowd with his Wild Card run. On third-and-9, Jackson couldn't find anyone open, so he decided to do it himself. Jackson sprinted past Tennessee defenders before diving for the pylon in his first playoff victory.

2019: Week 11 vs. Houston Texans (November 17, 2019)

1. HE IS HOUDINI
Screenshot 2024-12-23 at 2.48.56 PM

2019: Week 10 at Cincinnati Bengals (November 10, 2019)

This run will transcend time. When Jackson is long retired, this play will still be on highlight reels everywhere with the legendary "he is Houdini" call. The first 15 yards were impressive enough, but he hit one of the nastiest spin moves ever to get past two Cincinnati defenders and run into the end zone with both hands in the air.
