BALTIMORE -- Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson established a new standard for running quarterbacks Thursday night, and in doing so he was congratulated by Michael Vick and playfully challenged by Tom Brady afterward.

Using his blazing speed to hit the edges, Jackson broke Vick's single-season rushing record mark by a quarterback on the opening drive of a 42-21 rout of the heavy underdog New York Jets. Jackson, the electric dual-threat quarterback and NFL Most Valuable Player front-runner, eclipsed his childhood idol with 8 minutes, 36 seconds left in the first quarter when he faked a handoff to running back Mark Ingram and ran for a hard-fought 5 yards.

"It's pretty cool," Jackson said. "My favorite player growing up. It's amazing, and I'm going to cherish that forever and just got to keep it going. Records are made to be broken, like he said. I heard him say that, and it's an honor for me to do it."

On a night when the temperature dipped to near freezing at M&T Bank Stadium, Jackson led the Ravens (12-2) to their second consecutive AFC North title, but not before achieving what many considered a formality. He entered Thursday's game needing 23 yards to surpass Vick's mark of 1,039 yards set in 2006. That record was shattered on Jackson's third run of the game.
