Watch: Ravens' Lamar Jackson burns Titans with 48-yard TD run

Originally posted on Sportsnaut | By Vincent Frank | Last updated 1/10/21

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson got off to a slow start early in his AFC wild-card game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Baltimore found itself down 10-0 early with the reigning NFL MVP throwing an interception.

The obvious concern here had to be continued struggles from Jackson in the playoffs. Including last season’s defeat at the hands of the Titans, Jackson boasts an 0-2 career postseason record.

At least for one play, Jackson quieted the critics. With his team down 10-3 in the second quarter, Jackson burned the Titans on a 48-yard touchdown run.

Your eyes are not deceiving you. Jackson legitimately made four Titans defenders miss before pretty much outrunning the entire secondary.

At some point, the Ravens will need to pass the ball to win on Sunday. In no way does that take away from the brilliant play you just saw above.

For Jackson, this comes on the heels of a regular season that saw him put more than 1,000 yards on the ground. He’s the only quarterback in NFL history to accomplish that feat in consecutive years.

For all the criticism he has received during what can objectively be called a down season for the talented quarterback, Jackson still finds a way to amaze onlookers. That did not change with this run on Sunday.

vacarro with that “what’s the point” pursuit after lamar dusted byard.

On his 48-yard TD run, Lamar Jackson hit 20.52 MPH, per @NextGenStats data.

The crazy part is, for as fast as that play looked, it was only the third fastest run from Lamar this season. Next level speed.

He doesn’t have to throw it to give you a quick 50 yards. Lamar is the fastest person on the field once y’all get running. That’s so scary in the open field.
