Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson’s stunning performance in Week 7 caught the attention of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. Four-time NBA MVP marvel at Jackson was on the field as the Ravens beat the visiting Detroit Lions 38-6 on Sunday.
“Mr. Lamar is awesome!!! Wow!! Pocket presence,” LeBron James tweeted.
Lamar Jackson completed 21 of 27 passes for 357 yards and three touchdowns to help the Ravens win for the fifth time in seven games. Jackson became the first quarterback in Ravens history to pass for more than 250 yards and two touchdowns in a half. Not only that, Baltimore led by 28 points at halftime, tying the largest lead ever at M&T Bank Stadium. It was indeed a record-breaking day for Lamar Jackson and company.

Jackson continues to rewrite the Ravens franchise record books. Not only is he their franchise quarterback, but he also does double duty as their leading rusher. In fact, he’s led Baltimore’s ground attack the past five seasons. He is the only quarterback in league history to accomplish this amazing feat. Lamar Jackson is clearly making his case as one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in NFL history.
Lamar Jackson has recorded 1,610 passing yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions in Week 7. He also rushed for 363 yards and five touchdowns for the Ravens. Jackson’s stellar performance under center has helped Baltimore move a half-game ahead of the Cleveland Browns in the competitive AFC North division.
The Ravens will travel to face the struggling Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. Will Kyler Murray finally take the field for Arizona? If he does, it will be an exciting matchup between two of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the NFL. Don’t act surprised if LeBron James takes to Twitter again to express his feelings about Lamar Jackson.
