Goodell Calls Lamar Jackson a Game-Changer After Last-Second Win in Rio

Overview

• Jackson set up Tyler Loop’s 56-yard, game-winning field goal with a 27-yard pass to Zay Flowers in a sequence that decided the game on Sunday in Rio de Janeiro.
• Commissioner Roger Goodell offered the praise during a sideline interview at the game, saying Jackson has “changed the way that position is played.”
• Jackson finished the game 15 of 20 for 186 yards, two touchdowns, no turnovers, no sacks and a 136.7 passer rating.
• ESPN Research noted the drive was the first game-winning march of Jackson’s career that began with under one minute left in the fourth quarter.
• Jackson’s two MVP awards and his unique career totals—more than 5,000 rushing yards and 20,000 passing yards—underline why his play forces tactical changes and why the Ravens are 2–1 as they manage injuries to key teammates.
