—With the Ravens’ win on Sunday, Lamar Jackson has passed Dan Marino for the most wins (35) by an NFL quarterback before the age of 25.
Jackson is now 35-8 and doesn’t turn 25 until Jan. 7. No quarterback under the age of 25 has won more than 30 games in the past two decades.
“That’s the biggest one,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said of the record. “I promise you, that’s the one Lamar is the most proud of and that’s one we’re all most proud of, absolutely.”
It’s been quite a turnaround for Baltimore under Jackson. The Ravens were 44-45 (.494) between winning the Super Bowl in 2012 and Jackson taking over as the starter midway through the 2018 season. Baltimore has won 81% of its games with Jackson as its starter.
This record comes six days after Jackson became first player in NFL history with 400 yards passing, four touchdown passes, no interceptions and 50 yards rushing in Baltimore’s 31-25 overtime victory against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night.
Asked if records mean anything to him, Jackson said, “We are on a roll for something else. If we break records, it happens. But we want something else.”
