Lamar Jackson extends record against NFC teams to 23-1

He did it again.

For the twenty-third time in 24 career games against NFC teams, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson emerged with a win.

That’s a 23-1 record in interconference play. (Here’s the full listprior to last night’s 41-31 win in Tampa.) It’s not a fluke. As Devin McCourty explained on Tuesday PFT Livedefensive players who only see Jackson once every four years (or so) are not used to what he can do. They’re not ready until they see it. And they can’t immediately figure out how to slow him down.

Last night it took a while for Laman to get going. And then it took off, in a really big way. Five touchdown passes. Fifty-two rushing yards. Orchestrating an offense that racked up 508 yards.

He will have a chance to run his record to 24-1 in Week 13 against the Eagles. Two weeks later, the record could jump to 25-1 against the Giants – the only NFC team to beat him.

The real question is whether Lamar will finally face an NFC team in January. If he does, history will be on his side.
