Jackson earned a 92.6 passing grade, narrowly missing the league lead and ranking as the 12th-best single-season mark since PFF began tracking data in 2006.

He averaged 8.8 yards per pass attempt, the highest in the NFL. He also threw 30 big-time throws compared to just seven turnover-worthy plays, making him the only quarterback this season to record at least 21 big-time throws while keeping turnover-worthy plays in the single digits.

On the ground, Jackson posted an 87.7 rushing grade, becoming just the second quarterback in the PFF era to earn an 87.0-plus grade as both a passer and a runner in the same season. His 915 rushing yards ranked as the fifth-most by a quarterback since 2006, with Jackson now owning three of the top five marks in that category.

What truly sets Jackson apart is his electrifying ability to break off big plays as a runner. His 37 rushes of 10 or more yards tied for third-most in the NFL, matching Detroit’s Jahmyr Gibbs and trailing only Philadelphia’s Saquon Barkley and teammate Derrick Henry.

Jackson’s season-long excellence was capped by a phenomenal closing stretch that left no doubt about his place atop the league. Over the final three weeks, he delivered a remarkable 94.7 overall grade, including a 93.0 passing grade and an 85.7 rushing grade.
