VIDEO: Lamar Jackson Has Funny Response to Tom Brady's 40-Yard Dash Challenge
By Michael Luciano
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, fresh off throwing five touchdown passes in a 42-21 domination of the New York Jets and setting the single-season rushing record for a quarterback in the process, has been summoned by TB12 himself. The notoriously slow Tom Brady jokingly challenged the lightning-quick Jackson to a 40-yard dash, but on the condition that Jackson has to wear rollerblades on a grass field. Lamar isn't chalking up this hypothetical race as an automatic win for him -- he says Brady has some juice!

At this point, why wouldn't Lamar win a foot race in rollerblades? It wouldn't even be the craziest thing he's done against Brady this season.
Jackson also became the only other person in NFL history to compile three games of five passing touchdowns and no interceptions in one season, joining Brady in 2007 as the only two to hit that milestone.
Lamar Jackson has recorded 3 games with 5 Pass TD and 0 Int this season. Below is a comprehensive list of QBs to do that.

Not bad for a running back.
Keep in mind, Lamar's rushing stats are a LITTLE bit better than Brady's numbers.
We've already seen these two duke it out on the field once, and we might see it again in the playoffs. Then we can only hope for an offseason 40-yard dash pay-per-view.
