Lamar Jackson Thanks Ref Who Called Rare Roughing the Passer Penalty Against Him

Lamar Jackson’s big night on Monday proved everyone who says he isn’t a pocket passer wrong.

Jackson completed a ridiculous 37 of 43 passes for 442 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions, becoming the first player in NFL history to throw for more than 400 yards while completing at least 85% of his passes. He also had 14 carries for 62 yards. (That makes him the first player in NFL history with 400 passing yards, four touchdown passes, no interceptions and 50 rushing yards in the same game.) Take away the five yards he lost on two sacks and Jackson accounted for a whopping 499 all purpose yards, nearly all of the 523 yards the Ravens gained.
