Jackson passed Michael Vick's previous record of 6,109 career rushing yards, doing so in just his seventh NFL season. Following the game, Jackson reflected on the accomplishment and the honor of passing Vick.

"I'm grateful, man," Jackson said, per Bobby Kownack of NFL.com. "That's a record that's been there forever, for a long time. Michael Vick, one of my favorite players, it's just dope."

Jackson has rushed for more than 700 yards in six of his seven seasons, with the only outlier being his rookie season in 2018 when he only started seven games. He has now exceeded 6,110 rushing yards and also has 33 career rushing touchdowns.

After setting the record, he is now followed on the list by Vick, Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, Randall Cunningham and Steve Young. Wilson and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen join Jackson as the only active quarterbacks in the top-seven all-time.

With the record secured, Jackson will look to increase his lead and help carry the Ravens on a deep postseason run.
