Lamar Jackson engineered an epic comeback as he put forth one of the best quarterback performances of the year in the Baltimore Ravens' thrilling 41-38 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday. Jackson's remarkable performance swept seven-time Super Bowl champion and Fox Sports analyst Tom Brady off his feet, garnering him a spot on former NFL star's '3 Stars of the Week list'. Jackson was only behind Kirk Cousins on the list.
Lamar Jackson had an incredible game on Sunday, leading his team to their third consecutive win. The two-time MVP completed 26 out of 42 passes for 348 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for 55 yards on 12 carries.
Tom Brady took note of Jackson's match-winning performance and said he would have no chance to ever complete this one record."Lamar was a human highlight reel. What an incredible overtime win over the Bengals. He's been unbelievable this season. This one record that I would have no chance to ever complete - he's the first player in history to have 300 pass yards, 50 rush yards, and four touchdowns in multiple games. Truly incredible," he said.
Considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, Tom Brady had an incredible NFL career, with 132 games, including playoffs, where he threw for 300+ yards and 41 games with four or more passing touchdowns. However, despite his impressive passing stats, he never had a game with 50 rushing yards. In fact, he only managed to break the 30-yard mark as a rusher once. It was during a 2006 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he rushed for 31 yards on 10 carries.
