With Monday’s win over the 49ers officially in the books, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has joined an exclusive group.
Jackson is one of two quarterbacks since the NFL merger to have a 57-19 record through their first 76 starts. The other player on this list is seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady.
Wins aren’t exactly a quarterback stat because they can be misleading, but there’s no question the Ravens are a perennial playoff team with Jackson under center because of his rare skillset.
Since entering the league in 2018, Jackson has thrown for 15,566 yards and 120 touchdowns. He also has 5,223 rushing yards and 29 rushing touchdowns.

Jackson’s value was on full display during the 2022 season. The Ravens owned a 2-3 record with him out of the lineup as opposed to an 8-4 record with him starting.
If Jackson continues to play at his current level, he’ll be the favorite to win MVP. He could also lift the Ravens to their first Super Bowl appearance in over a decade.
