During the regular season, in each of his years as a Ravens starter, the quarterback has shown he can be one of the best, although everything changes when they advance to the postseason. He has not been able to win a single game, although that could change because Lamar Jackson made playoff history with a running TD.
He wants to break the losing streak at this point in the campaign.
Last season he was eliminated by a Titans who completely dominated him, but a year later, he is looking for revenge. Again against those of Tennessee, the QB started the game slowly, although after woke up to give the Ravens the upper hand.
In his first pass of the game they intercepted him, suggesting that he would continue that bad streak in the playoffs, but in the next offensive series of the Baltimore team, he showed that he can achieve his first victory. Also, he put his name in NFL history books.

He had a 48-yard rushing TD.
In the second offensive drive of the game, the quarterback took off all possible defenders to run nearly 50 yards to the ‘promised zone’. With that TD he tied the match 10-10, bringing his team to life after a poor start in Tennessee.
That touchdown meant more than just match, as it put Lamar Jackson in the history books, again. It became the second TD longest running back by a quarterback in playoff history, only Colin Kaepernick’s 56-yard rushing TD against the Packers in the 2012 Divisional Round was longer.
It continues to show that it is one of the best today.
Despite all the criticism about his skills as a quarterback, the Lamar Jackson playoff TD showed that he is always a danger to any opposing defense, be it in the regular season or in the playoffs.
