Magma-Hot Lamar Jackson Scores Fifteenth TD in Three Games—More than 118 FBS Teams

Across Jackson's 15 touchdowns in three games, Jackson made only 30 drives. This means that after his TD, he was sitting at a 50 percent chance of scoring on any given drive.

You may remember Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson from such things as winning—constantly. Soon, you will likely remember him as the guy who easily cleared the competition on his way to a Heisman trophy. Why? Because this dude just scored his 15th touchdown in three games, giving him more touchdowns than 118 FBS teams. My dear god.

His first TD (above) on the day was undeniably good, coming from just over two minutes into the run of play, at the second yard line. The fake handoff carved an opening in the defensive line, and Jackson ran through, molding four defenders into a helpless bouquet of twisted rebar. It was absolutely beautiful.

But perhaps his second TD was his monument to his prowess. The man took it from the 14-yard-line and trucked a fool on his way in. The Seminoles are going to need a new game plan after this. Because a whole team is being dismantled by one man.

If that wasn't impressive enough for you, just take look at this stat: across Jackson's 15 touchdowns in three games, Jackson made only 30 drives. This means that after his TD, he was sitting at a 50 percent chance of scoring on any given drive. That's just absolutely ludicrous. The Michael Vick comparisons abound, but let's not tether this running QB to such an ill fate. This guy is legit.

In fact, maybe the best comparison is to this:
