In a commanding performance, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 16 of 19 passes for 280 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions, achieving a perfect passer rating of 158.3 in the team’s 41-10 victory over the Denver Broncos. This marks Jackson’s fourth career game with a 158.3 passer rating (minimum 15 attempts), surpassing legends like Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner, Tom Brady, and Ben Roethlisberger, who each had three such games, making him the all-time leader in this category.
Additionally, Jackson is now the third player in NFL history to record seven career games with a passer rating of 150 or higher, joining Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger, both with eight games. This season, Jackson has thrown for 20 touchdowns and just two interceptions, becoming the fifth player ever to achieve at least 20 touchdown passes with two or fewer interceptions in the first nine games of a season. He joins an elite group that includes Tom Brady (2016), Drew Brees (2018), Patrick Mahomes (2020), and Russell Wilson (2019).
With a remarkable 120.7 passer rating this season, Jackson is also one of only five players to have at least 20 touchdown passes and a passer rating of 120 or higher through their first nine games, alongside Brady, Brees, Peyton Manning, and Aaron Rodgers.
On the ground, Ravens running back Derrick Henry was equally impressive, rushing for 106 yards and two touchdowns. Henry reached a significant career milestone with 101 rushing touchdowns, becoming just the fifth player in NFL history to achieve at least 100 rushing touchdowns in his first nine seasons. He now joins Hall of Famers LaDainian Tomlinson, Emmitt Smith, Jim Brown, and Shaun Alexander in this exclusive club.
