Lamar Jackson has already broken one record this season, surpassing Michael Vick for the all-time mark in rushing yards by a quarterback. Now, another mark is within reach.

With one week left in the regular season, the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player’s passer rating of 121.6 is just behind the single-season NFL record of 122.5 set by then-Packers signal caller Aaron Rodgers in 2011.

But Jackson’s sights of course are on a much bigger goal — getting to and winning a Super Bowl.

“If in my childhood mindset and breaking a record, yeah [it would mean a lot],” he said Tuesday. “But I’m trying to win games, so it really don’t matter. If it happens, it happens. If it don’t, it probably will happen sometime down the line.”

For now, the immediate goal for Jackson and the Ravens is beating the Cleveland Browns on Saturday at M&T Bank Stadium.

A win would lock up the AFC North title for a second straight year and secure the No. 3 seed in the conference for the playoffs, guaranteeing Baltimore at least a wild-card game at home against either the Los Angeles Chargers or Pittsburgh Steelers. A loss coupled with a Steelers win over the Cincinnati Bengals would mean hitting the road for a rematch with the AFC South champion Houston Texans.

Still, it wouldn’t take anything extraordinary for Jackson to add his name to another record.

After completing 21 of 25 passes for 290 yards and five touchdowns in a blowout of the New York Giants in Week 15, his season-long passer rating climbed to 120.7, the fourth-highest mark in league history. The following week, in a win over the Steelers at M&T Bank Stadium, he completed 15 of 23 attempts for 207 yards and three touchdowns with one interception, good for a relatively modest rating of 115.4.

Then, in a 31-2 drubbing of the Texans in Houston on Christmas, Jackson completed 10 of 15 passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns for a rating of 143.9.

Already, Jackson has had one game this season in which he had a perfect passer rating (158.3) after completing 16 of 19 for 280 yards and three touchdowns in a 41-10 rout of the Denver Broncos in Week 9. That gave him five for his career, also an NFL record, breaking a tie with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner and Ben Roethlisberger.

Jackson nearly had one in Week 7, too, when he completed 17 of 22 passes for 281 yards and five touchdowns in a 41-31 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Now in his seventh season, Jackson, 27, has often said this year that the game has slowed down for him. Unsurprisingly, his numbers have sped up as a result.

With 3,955 passing yards, he’s on the precipice of breaking the 4,000-yard mark for the first time in his career. His 39 touchdown passes are also a career high and tied for the second-most in the NFL behind only the Bengals’ Joe Burrow, and his 8.9 yards per attempt are the most of his career by nearly a full yard and also lead the league.

He has also continued to be a threat with his legs — despite rushing at a lower rate than any previous season, he has still tallied 852 yards, just 12 yards behind Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels, and four touchdowns.

But the Ravens aren’t concerned with any of those numbers right now.

“People that study football history in the National Football League I’m sure will have these conversations and write about all of these things and all that, but right now, it’s just a matter of trying to make that history,” coach John Harbaugh said earlier this week. “[We’re] trying to do what we can do to try to do what we do and try to win the next game and carry it forward from there.”

Yet, critics remain, of Jackson, his ability as a passer and his candidacy for a third MVP this year with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen the favorite for the award.

It still motivates him, too, he said, and that could be problematic for those trying to defend him.

“It’s really nothing to talk about,” Jackson said. “Just let us play football. It is what it is. When you playing sports there’s gonna always be talk of how good a player is, how bad a player is, he should be this, he should be that. There’s gonna always be that type of talk.

“Just keep it up for me. It helps.”
