Lamar Jackson becomes first QB with multiple 1,000-yard rushing seasons

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 1/3/21

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been a problem for opposing defenses since entering the NFL in 2018. His running ability has particularly caused problems.

Jackson recorded his second consecutive 1,000-plus rushing yard season on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. He is the first quarterback in NFL history to accomplish the feat.

Jackson reached the 1,000-yard mark on Sunday with a seven-yard scramble in the third quarter against Cincinnati. He finished the game with 11 carries for 97 yards in a 38-3 Ravens win.

Last season, the 23-year-old ran for 1,206 yards and seven touchdowns. He finishes the 2020 season with 1,005 yards and seven scores. The only other quarterback to rush for 1,000 yards in a season was Michael Vick in 2006.

Baltimore clinched a wild-card berth with its win over the Bengals.
