"Lamar Jackson has put together an impressive streak unlike any other quarterback in "Monday Night Football" history, but the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player is genuinely unaware of it. Asked about his dominance on Monday night, Jackson said Thursday, "No. If anything, I'm trying to keep it going. If I am playing well, I don't pay attention to it." Jackson has been near perfect on Monday night, producing 22 touchdown passes without an interception."
"Jackson's terrific run started in a 45-6 rout at the Los Angeles Rams in 2019, when he became the first player to throw five touchdown passes in a "Monday Night Football" debut. In his last Monday night home game, Jackson threw for a franchise-record 442 yards and four touchdowns in a 31-25 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts. In Jackson's last Monday night game, he led Baltimore to a 30-23 victory at the Los Angeles Chargers last season"
Lamar Jackson has produced 22 touchdown passes without an interception on Monday Night Football, the longest streak without a pick in MNF history. Jackson says he is largely unaware of the streak and focuses on maintaining his play. Jackson credits extra rest and film study for better preparation on Mondays. The streak began with a 45-6 rout of the Los Angeles Rams in 2019, when he threw five TDs in his MNF debut. He posted a franchise-record 442 passing yards and four TDs in a 31-25 overtime home win over Indianapolis and led a 30-23 road victory at the Los Angeles Chargers last season. Baltimore (1-1) will host Detroit (1-1) on Monday.
