The Baltimore Ravens appear to be their old selves again, currently riding a two-game win streak. Lamar Jackson made a spectacular return, tossing four touchdowns, and now the star quarterback is on the verge of achieving an NFL feat accomplished only by Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes.
Jackson has been one of the most accurate passers in the league throughout his young career. He currently holds the best all-time passer rating with a total of 103.5, putting him ahead of Rodgers, who ranks second with a career passer rating of 102.6. Considering Rodgers has played more than twice as many seasons as Jackson, this is a remarkable accomplishment. Mahomes holds the third spot with a passer rating of 101.8.
Passer rating is a crucial metric that highlights a quarterback’s accuracy and their ability to throw touchdowns without costly turnovers. What sets Rodgers and Mahomes apart is that both have maintained a passer rating over 100.0 in their first 100 career starts—a significant NFL milestone.
Jackson is closing in on this feat. With his 100th start coming up on Sunday, he has the opportunity to join Rodgers and Mahomes if he can keep his passer rating above 100.0. According to NFL Media, “Jackson can become the third quarterback all-time with a passer rating of 100-or-higher in his first 100 career starts, joining Aaron Rodgers (107.3 passer rating) and Patrick Mahomes (103.0).”
Currently, Jackson stands at 99 starts with an impressive 103.5 passer rating. If he maintains this level of performance against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, he will add another prestigious NFL record to his growing list.
Jackson has worked hard to prove that he is far more than just a “running back,” a label often attached to him early in his career. His dual-threat ability to throw downfield effectively while also being a dynamic runner has already earned him two MVP awards.
Although the Ravens hold a 3-5 record, their recent surge in confidence could help them shake off their early-season struggles and make a strong push moving forward. Fans will be watching closely as Lamar Jackson continues to redefine what it means to be an elite quarterback in the NFL.
