Lamar Jackson, the quarterback for the Ravens, has concluded the 2024 regular season with an impressive record of 41 touchdown passes against just four interceptions, setting a remarkable benchmark in the NFL. This achievement is noteworthy as it marks the first time a player has thrown for over 40 touchdowns while maintaining fewer than five interceptions. Before Jackson’s performance this year, the best record was held by Aaron Rodgers, who threw 37 touchdown passes with under five interceptions in 2021. Additionally, Rodgers set the record for the fewest interceptions (five) during a season where 40 touchdown passes were achieved, a record that Jackson has now surpassed.
While Jackson is recognized for being the leading rusher among quarterbacks, it appears his exceptional running skills might have overshadowed his passing prowess. Nevertheless, based solely on his passing performance, Jackson’s 2024 season will go down in history.
Looking ahead, Jackson’s focus will shift towards a significant milestone still awaiting him: demonstrating his elite capabilities in the playoffs. Success in the postseason could solidify his legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.
This season truly underscores Jackson’s multifaceted skills on the field, heralding a promising future as he aims to elevate his game further in the playoffs. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see if he can translate his regular-season brilliance into postseason success, potentially rewriting the narrative around his career.
