Lamar Jackson dominates NFL with 5 stats proving he’s the top QB in 2026

Lamar Jackson sits atop the NFL in 2026 with five stats that separate him from every other quarterback.

On July 15, 2026, **Lamar Jackson** reaffirmed his status as the NFL’s best quarterback with a fresh set of numbers that leave no room for debate. The Baltimore Ravens signal-caller posted the league’s top passer rating, lowest interception rate, and highest QBR among starters through 12 games. His 125.6 passer rating on the season trails only his own 2023 mark, while his 1.9% interception rate ranks first in the league. Jackson also leads all QBs with a 76.4% completion rate and 9.8 yards per attempt. Those figures come as the Ravens sit at 9-3 and in control of the AFC North.

How Jackson’s stats stack up against the rest of the NFL

Jackson’s 125.6 passer rating through Week 12 in 2026 is the highest mark by any QB in NFL history at this stage of the season. The next-closest is Patrick Mahomes at 118.7, while Josh Allen sits at 115.2. Jackson’s 76.4% completion rate also towers over the field; the next-best is Dak Prescott at 73.1%. His 9.8 yards per attempt outpaces Tua Tagovailoa’s 9.2, the second-highest average. The Ravens’ offense ranks first in total yards per game, a stat driven by Jackson’s ability to extend plays and keep drives alive.

Why these numbers matter for Baltimore’s title push

The Ravens’ 9-3 record in mid-November 2026 owes much to Jackson’s efficiency. His 1.9% interception rate means he’s turned the ball over just six times in 315 attempts. That turnover margin gives Baltimore a +14 differential in turnover ratio, the best in the league. Jackson’s 76.4% completion rate also keeps drives alive; the Ravens rank first in third-down conversion rate at 51%. His 9.8 yards per attempt fuels explosive plays, with Baltimore averaging 6.2 yards after the catch per pass-second only to the Chiefs.

And the Ravens’ Week 12 win over the Steelers in Pittsburgh showed why Jackson’s numbers translate to wins. He threw for 312 yards and three touchdowns with no picks, while adding 68 rushing yards and a score. The performance lifted Baltimore to 9-3 and kept them in the thick of the AFC playoff race.

What comes next for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens

Jackson and the Ravens face the Chargers in Week 13 on November 30, 2026, a game that could cement their hold on the AFC’s top seed. If Jackson extends his pace, he’ll challenge his own single-season passer rating record of 126.6, set in 2023. The Ravens’ schedule eases into December, with winnable games against the Jets and Titans before a December 21 tilt with the Chiefs. A strong finish could vault Jackson into his third MVP conversation in four years.

The five stats-top passer rating, lowest interception rate, highest completion rate, most yards per attempt, and best turnover margin-paint a clear picture. **Lamar Jackson** isn’t just the best quarterback in the NFL in 2026. He’s pulling away from the pack.
