Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson became the butt (no pun intended) of jokes on Twitter after he looked like he needed to take a much-needed trip to the bathroom during Monday's game against the Cleveland Browns. Jackson said he left the field due to cramps, but not everyone bought the reigning MVP's excuses after CCTV footage of him rushing in the dugouts – while running a certain type of way – surfaced on social media.
Nonetheless, Jackson didn't only break the internet during his poop-fueled fiasco, he also broke an NFL record while doing so. Per Dan Cancian of Newsweek.com, the superstar QB notched his fourth career game with a QBR of 99.0 or higher, which marks the most such games any starting quarterback has had ever since the stat was recorded.

Injury or bathroom break, Jackson's return from his quick exit also fueled an all-important victory over the Browns. The 23-year old noted he needed treatment for his cramps and headed to the locker room quickly. In his absence, Cleveland stormed back from a 14-point deficit and took a 1-point lead with over six minutes left in the game. Jackson's return helped spark Baltimore's closing run to win the game.
Aside from his line noted above, the 23-year old also finished the game with nine carries for the Ravens, with 124 rushing yards, to go along with two touchdowns. In addition to his record-setting night, Jackson also notched his eighth career contest with 100 or more rushing yards.
