RUSHING INTO HISTORY:
The BALTIMORE RAVENS enter Week 14 with the league’s top rushing attack, having rushed for the third-most yards (2,494) by a team in its first 12 games of a season since 1970. Only the 1972 MIAMI DOLPHINS (2,586 rushing yards) and the 1975 BUFFALO BILLS (2,505) had more.
Last week, Baltimore quarterback LAMAR JACKSON rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown, surpassing MICHAEL VICK (three games in both 2004 and 2006) and RUSSELL WILSON (three in 2014) for the most games with at least 100 rushing yards by a quarterback in a single season in NFL history. Jackson has now rushed for 977 yards in 2019.
With 63 rushing yards on Sunday at Buffalo (1:00 PM ET, CBS), Jackson would surpass Vick (1,039 rushing yards in 2006) for the most rushing yards by a quarterback in a single season in NFL history.

With 34 passing yards on Sunday against Carolina (1:00 PM ET, FOX), Ryan would become the second-fastest player to reach 50,000 career passing yards in NFL history.
