The All-Pro quarterback, who led Baltimore to playoff contention with record-breaking performances, says Jesus is the reason for his success. On Sunday, Baltimore's Lamar Jackson became the first NFL player in history to earn four perfect passer ratings. He completed 16 of 19 passes for 280 yards and three touchdowns in the Ravens' 41-10 win over Denver. His perfect passer rating of 158.3 was fourth in his career, surpassing Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Kurt Warner and Ben Roethlisberger (three each). The Ravens are 6-3 and in contention for the AFC North title. When asked about his success, Jackson touted it.
“I knew what the mission was. I definitely studied them. Get Coach Tee. [Martin, the quarterbacks coach] And just doing extra work because I wasn't in the game, just watching practices and studying film of the players, that helped a lot,” he said in the post-game press conference, saying he missed practice due to injury. I talked about my absence.
Lamar Jackson said extra work and film study helped him achieve so much success today after just one day of practice. But he also praised God.

“And God. God, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that's why we're so successful,” he added. sports spectrum. “He's the one guiding us through this game week in and week out.”
Jackson, who is in his seventh year in the league, is a three-time All-Pro and a two-time NFL MVP. He won the Heisman Trophy at the University of Louisville.
Jackson also praised Christ after winning the 2023 MVP award.
On Sunday, he said the Ravens had developed solid team chemistry.

Jackson often talks about his faith on social media. Last week, he retweeted a post by X that read: “This week's goals: 1) Put God first, 2) Pray more, 3) Thank God every day, 4) Forgive those who have hurt me, 5) Focus more on Jesus, and 6) Less on the world. Ask Jesus for help more often and 7) Trust God always.”
In August he I wrote In X, “I don't understand how people can believe that we all breathe thanks to invisible oxygen. When it comes to believing in God, they have to see God with their own eyes. No. What about that #HestheRealist?”
I don't understand how people can believe that we breathe because of invisible oxygen. When it comes to believing in God, they have to see God with their own eyes 🤔🤔 #How about that? #heszarealist🙏🏾
