Lamar Jackson Sets Stunning 27-Game Touchdown Record Despite Ravens’ MNF Loss
The Baltimore Ravens may have fallen to the Detroit Lions under the Monday Night Football lights, but quarterback Lamar Jackson still left the field with a slice of NFL history.
In a game that ended 38-30 in Detroit’s favour, the two-time MVP delivered a moment that will echo far beyond the defeat.
Early in the second quarter, Jackson rolled out on a clever play-action and found Rashod Bateman for a sharp five-yard strike. That single throw carried extra weight.
It marked his 27th consecutive game with at least one touchdown pass, the longest active streak in the league.
The Ravens’ media team made sure the feat didn’t go unnoticed, posting on X (formerly Twitter): “Lamar Jackson has now thrown at least 1 TD pass in 27 consecutive games, marking the NFL’s longest active streak (next best is Tua Tagovailoa – 18 games).”

It was a shining highlight in an otherwise bruising night. Jackson absorbed seven sacks and relentless pressure from Detroit’s front line.
Yet he stayed composed, threading passes when it mattered and keeping Baltimore in contention as the scoreboard swung back and forth.
His connection with Bateman briefly levelled the game at 14-14, a reminder of his cool efficiency even as the Ravens’ defence leaked a painful 255 rushing yards.
The 27-game stretch doesn’t yet challenge the all-time runs of legends like Drew Brees or Tom Brady. But for an eight-year veteran still in his prime, it’s a testament to unwavering consistency and elite accuracy.
Add this to his two MVP titles, and Jackson’s credentials for another award-season push grow stronger by the week.
Baltimore’s record now sits at 1-2, with the daunting Kansas City Chiefs looming next. The loss stings, no doubt.
But for Ravens fans, Jackson’s ongoing touchdown streak offers more than a stat it’s a reason to believe. Last week, Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs to their first win of the season, showing the challenge Baltimore faces ahead.
