Lamar Jackson reaches rushing milestone Ravens defeat Chargers

Lamar Jackson becomes fastest QB to 5,000 rushing yards as Baltimore Ravens force four turnovers in 20-10 win over Chargers.

Lamar Jackson made history on Sunday night as he became the fastest quarterback to reach 5,000 rushing yards. The Baltimore Ravens also put on a strong defensive performance, forcing four turnovers in their 20-10 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in Inglewood, California.

Zay Flowers was a standout player for Baltimore, catching a touchdown pass and running for another. The Ravens now boast a 9-3 record, making them the top team in the AFC as they head into their bye week.

On the other side, Justin Herbert completed 29 of 44 passes for 217 yards, with one touchdown and one interception for the Chargers. Despite a strong performance from Keenan Allen, who caught 14 passes for 106 yards, the Chargers suffered their third consecutive loss.

In the game, Jackson completed 18 of 32 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 39 yards on 11 carries. This performance brought his career rushing yard total to 5,011 in just 82 games, surpassing the previous record held by Michael Vick, who reached 5,000 rushing yards in 104 games.

The Chargers managed to close the gap to 13-10 with a touchdown pass from Herbert to Everett, but a crucial 35-yard keeper by Herbert was not enough to secure a win. Justin Tucker missed a field-goal attempt for the Ravens, but Baltimore was able to regain possession and secure the win with a 37-yard scoring run by Flowers.

Khalil Mack recorded two sacks for the Chargers, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Ravens, who outgained them 361 to 279 in total yards.

The game started with a field goal from the Chargers, but the Ravens quickly took the lead with a touchdown pass from Jackson to Flowers. Baltimore maintained their lead throughout the game, with Tucker adding two more field goals to secure the win.

Ultimately, the Ravens' strong defensive performance and Jackson's historic achievement led them to a well-deserved victory over the Chargers.
