Lamar Jackson broke the NFL career rushing record for quarterbacks in the Baltimore Ravens' victory over the Houston Texans on Wednesday. A highlight came when Jackson dashed 48 yards for a touchdown on a run where he reached a career-best top speed of 21.

Baltimore’s defense swarmed a maligned Texans offensive line. C.J. Stroud was sacked five times, with the Ravens recording a total of nine QB hits. Stroud finished the day 17-for-31 for 185 yards and an interception. The Texans’ lone score on the afternoon came on a safety tackling Henry.

Lamar Jackson set an NFL record, Derrick Henry achieved a single-season franchise mark and the visiting Baltimore Ravens moved into first place in the AFC North with a 31-2 rout of the Houston Texans on Wednesday.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson remained a contender to earn MVP honors for the third time in his career as he guided his Baltimore Ravens to a dominant 31-2 win over the Houston Texans on Christmas Day.

Lamar Jackson won his second NFL MVP award last season. He has been even better this season. Much better, amazingly enough. We’ve seen split MVPs before and that would probably be the most appropriate ending to the Jackson/Josh Allen MVP race.

The Ravens and quarterback Lamar Jackson blew out the Texans, 31-2, on Christmas to take the AFC North into the final week of the season.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson’s passer rating of 121.6 is just behind the single-season NFL record of 122.5 set by Aaron Rodgers in 2011.

It certainly seems that either Jackson or Allen will ultimately earn the regular-season MVP for the ongoing campaign.

Lamar Jackson is having another outstanding season for the Baltimore Ravens and is close to breaking another record. Jackson’s passer rating this season is 121.6, and the all-time NFL record for highest passer rating in a season is 122.
