The lead up to Sunday’s Wild Card game between the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans was about how Lamar Jackson needed to “change the narrative” that he cannot win in the postseason.

Well, he did.

Jackson silenced his critics on Sunday during the Ravens’ 20-13 win over the Titans to mark the 24-year-old quarterback’s first career playoff victory in his third try.

He completed 17 of 24 passes for 179 yards and an interception, but ran for 136 yards on 16 carries, including a 48-yard touchdown run that drew Michael Vick comparisons to tie the game at 10 in the second quarter.

It was also the second-longest touchdown run by a quarterback in playoff history.

Following the Ravens win, many took to Twitter to celebrate Jackson finally putting an end to a narrative many were tired of hearing about a 24-year-old quarterback.
