Unlike the usual slate, this week’s Thursday Night Football matchup does not disappoint. The Bengals and Ravens will face off in primetime where both squads are making a push for not only the AFC North crown but a Super Bowl appearance. Both teams are led by star quarterbacks who are in the midst of a storied rivalry in the making. And now, it’s as good a time as any to take a look at the Joe Burrow vs. Lamar Jackson debate by the numbers.
Regular Season Numbers
Both players are Heisman Trophy winners, but Jackson got a head start on his career since he was drafted two years ahead of Burrow. Jackson entered the league in 2018 and eventually won over the starting job in his rookie year. Once he did, he was nothing short of historic. He has thrown for 14,386 yards and rushed for 4,918 yards in his 80 games played. He’s also thrown for 111 touchdowns through the air and rushed for 29 more.
