Ravens QB Lamar Jackson remains on course to set all-time NFL record for passing and rushing yards after helping Baltimore become the first AFC team to secure playoff berth with 23-7 win over Jaguars

Lamar Jackson is still on course to set an all-time NFL record for passing and rushing yards in a single season, after helping the Ravens become the first AFC team to book a playoff berth with a 23-7 win over the Jaguars. 

Baltimore's 26-year-old starting quarterback, who's a contender for this year's MVP award, completed 14 of 24 his attempts (58.3 percent) for 171 passing yards and 97 rushing, a touchdown and an interception on Sunday in Jacksonville. 

With three games remaining against the San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, and Pittsburgh Steelers, Jackson is on pace for 3,770 passing yards and 900 rushing on the season - a feat that has never been done before in NFL history. 

What's more is that against the Jaguars, he made the play of the night while avoiding a sack before throwing to Isaiah Likely near the goal line from Jacksonville's own 45-yard line.

The Ravens (11-3) are now on a four-game win streak, and moved step closer to securing the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. 

The Jaguars (8-6) lost their third straight - all against AFC North teams - and fell into a tie with Houston and Indianapolis atop the AFC South. Self-inflicted mistakes were a common thread in Jacksonville's skid.

Trevor Lawrence fumbled twice in the latest letdown, including one in the fourth quarter that essentially sealed Baltimore's eighth victory in its last nine games.

This one may have been costly for the Ravens. 

Promising rookie running back Keaton Mitchell injured his left knee early in the fourth quarter and was quickly ruled out. Replays showed his knee bend awkwardly during a run. He flashed a thumbs-up sign as he left the sideline on a cart. 

The Ravens also lost starting left tackle Ronnie Staley (concussion) and free safety Marcus Williams (groin), but Jackson, Edwards, Likely and an elite defense did enough to overcome to the injuries.

Lawrence threw for 264 yards, including a 65-yard touchdown to Jamal Agnew that gave the Jaguars life after a scoreless first half. But the Ravens answered with an unlikely play.

Jackson avoided Dawuane Smoot's sack, rolled right and threw a pass up for grabs near the goal line. Likely outmaneuvered cornerback Darious Williams and safety Andrew Wingard for the reception. Edwards scored two plays later.

The Jaguars had four scoring chances in the first half but failed to cash in on any of them. They managed 181 yards, which was the most by a team in an opening half this season that did not score.

Brandon McManus missed two field goals from beyond 50 yards, and Lawrence inexplicably fumbled at the Baltimore 18-yard line. Lawrence simply lost the ball while scrambling on a third-and-17 play. He wasn't going to pick up the first down, but Jacksonville surely was in makeable range for McManus.

Lawrence's second mistake was even more of a head-scratcher. After connecting with Zay Jones for 36 yards and putting the Jaguars at the 5 with 15 seconds remaining in the half, Lawrence probably should have spiked the ball and stopped the clock. Instead, he threw a short out to rookie Parker Washington, who couldn't get out of bounds and helplessly watched the clock run out.

Add it all up, and the Jaguars could have been up 16-10 at intermission. Instead, they trailed 10-0.

Baltimore plays at San Francisco on Christmas, another prime-time matchup between division leaders on the opposite coast, while Jacksonville takes on Tampa Bay on December 24, also a game featuring division leaders.
