Lamar Jackson is off and running. The Baltimore Ravens quarterback, known for his dual-threat style of play, has just scored the longest playoff touchdown in over half a decade.

Taking a snap at the Tennessee Titans’ 48-yard-line, Jackson took the ball and was off to the races. Dodging multiple tackles and rushing all the way to the endzone, Lamar’s touchdown was a sight to behold.

Jackson has registered 7 rushing touchdowns through the regular season. But his first in the playoffs might just be the pick of the bunch.

Becoming the first NFL quarterback with multiple 1,000+ rushing touchdown seasons, Lamar Jackson has the tools to put any game to bed single-handed. The 2019 MVP has had a rocky 2020 regular season, but it seems that the quarterback has peaked at just the right time.

With 5 wins in their last 5, Jackson is replicating some of the form that won him the MVP award last season.

And the one before that was by San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick 56-yard-run against the Green Bay Packers back in 2013.
