Lamar Jackson unbelievably completed a pass to himself for a first down against the Chiefs

Lamar Jackson is one of the greatest talents we’ve ever seen play the quarterback position. It feels like at least a few times a game, he’s doing something no one else is even capable of considering.

A broken play sequence late in the first half of Sunday’s AFC title game against the Kansas City Chiefs might take the cake.

After a Jackson short pass was batted at the line of scrimmage, it sure seemed like the Chiefs would capitalize with an interception. The only problem was that Jackson followed the play perfectly and ran right under the ball for a 13-yard gain. That’s right. Jackson completed a pass to himself for a first down. At the time of this writing, with the 13-yard catch, he was also the Ravens’ second-leading receiver.

Dearest readers, when I tell you I’ve never seen anything like that in an NFL game, I mean it:

LAMAR FREAKIN' JACKSON.

Jackson is a football wizard. A magician of the highest order. What else can we possibly say to describe him? What’s his next trick going to be? I can’t wait to find out.
