Lamar Jackson’s Triumphant Return from Injury
After missing three games due to a hamstring injury, Lamar Jackson returned in spectacular form to power the Baltimore Ravens past the Miami Dolphins 28–6 at Hard Rock Stadium.
The two-time NFL MVP completed 18 of 23 passes for 204 yards and four touchdowns, showing no signs of rust despite the layoff. His poise and leadership instantly transformed the Ravens’ offense.
“He’s a two-time MVP for a reason,” said tight end Mark Andrews. “With number 8 leading the charge, we’re a dangerous team.”
Lamar Jackson’s Chemistry with Mark Andrews Sparks Offense
Jackson and Mark Andrews picked up right where they left off. Andrews hauled in two touchdown passes in the first half as the Ravens built a commanding lead.
In the third quarter, Jackson connected with Charlie Kolar on an 11-play, 68-yard drive before finding Rashod Bateman for his fourth touchdown of the game.
Fans and analysts celebrated his performance online:
“That was vintage Lamar — poise, precision, and passion,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).
“Lamar Jackson came back like he never left 🔥 MVP form loading…” another added.
Lamar Jackson Leads a Ravens Revival
With this win, the Ravens improved to 3–5, their second consecutive victory, and now aim to become just the fifth team in NFL history to reach the playoffs after starting 1–5.
Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins (2–7) have now dropped four of their last five. The Ravens’ defense was dominant, holding Miami to just two field goals, while Derrick Henry rushed for 119 yards and surpassed 12,000 career rushing yards, a milestone achieved by only 17 players in NFL history.
“It was even better that, when he [Jackson] came back, it was in his hometown,” Henry said. “So it probably gave him a little more juice.”
Despite Missing Over a Month, Lamar Jackson Still Outpaces Josh Allen
Even after missing more than a month, Lamar Jackson (14 touchdown passes) has outperformed Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (12) in total touchdown throws this season.
This remarkable stat underlines Jackson’s efficiency and explosiveness — producing more touchdowns in fewer games while maintaining a higher passer rating and lower interception rate.
Areas Where Lamar Jackson Can Still Improve
Even after a stellar return, Jackson admits there’s room to grow:
- He acknowledged feeling “a little rusty” on the first play.
- His rushing attempts were limited, which slightly reduced his trademark dual-threat element.
- Continued development with younger receivers like Zay Flowers and Charlie Kolar will be key for consistency.
Fans Celebrate Lamar Jackson’s Heroic Return
Social media erupted in celebration following Jackson’s comeback:
@RavensFlockForever: “When No. 8 is back, the Ravens are back. MVP form restored. #LamarEra #RavensFlock”
@NextGenStatsNFL: “Lamar Jackson’s efficiency after a month off? 78% completion rate, 4 TDs, 0 INTs. That’s elite.”
Fans and analysts alike called it one of the most inspiring comebacks of the season.
The Road Ahead for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens
Jackson’s return has reignited Baltimore’s playoff hopes. If he stays healthy and continues producing at this pace, he could re-enter the MVP race and lead the Ravens toward a postseason berth.
“Lamar’s back. Baltimore’s back. The league’s been warned.” — Fan post on X
