Lamar Jackson is a two-time NFL MVP, but his performance through seven weeks of the 2024 season could be the best he’s ever played.

Jackson and the 5-2 Ravens will face the 1-6 Cleveland Browns on Sunday at Paycor Stadium.  Ahead of Thursday’s practice, the Browns’ defensive coordinator was asked about Jackson’s continued improvement.

Schwartz highlighted Jackson’s growth from a perceived run-first quarterback to a player dominating the passing game.

Through seven games played in 2024, Jackson is on pace to potentially break his record for the most rushing yards in a season by a quarterback (1,206 yards). Jackson is currently averaging 67.2 rushing yards per game.

As a passer, Jackson is completing 68.2% of his passes for 1,810 (5th in NFL), 15 touchdowns, two interceptions, and a 118.0 rating.
