Lamar Jackson has taken another step in his evolution as a quarterback during the 2024 NFL season, and the Baltimore Ravens are benefitting because of it.
Jackson has been a terror for defenses to face because he’s as much of a threat throwing the football as he is taking it for himself and making plays on the ground.
Even though the Ravens added Derrick Henry to the backfield to give Jackson support in the run game, the quarterback has still found ways to carve up teams through the air.
Jackson would be in line for his third NFL MVP award if it weren’t for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who’s having his own amazing season.
However, what Jackson is doing offensively shouldn’t go unnoticed, as he has the potential to make NFL history.
“Ravens QB Lamar Jackson can become the 1st player in NFL history to have 40+ combined TDs with 3 or fewer INTs in the same span,” ML Football wrote on X.

Jackson is the best dual-threat quarterback in the league because he has a strong arm to go with the speed and quickness to make defenders miss when he takes off himself.
However, the most impressive thing is how he’s been able to avoid mistakes in the passing game, which speaks to his maturity as a quarterback.
Taking care of the football and keeping the offense on schedule has been a focus for Jackson, who is showing everyone why the Ravens should be considered a Super Bowl contender.
