It’s one of the craziest stats you’ll hear a few times every NFL season, and it’s gotten even nuttier: Baltimore Ravens 2-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson is 20-1 against NFC teams in his career.

Jackson can add to that ridiculous statistic this weekend in Dallas, where the Ravens will be seeking their first win of the season against a team that is getting a bit too used to being blown out, the Cowboys.

Yes, Jackson owns the NFC, but it’s not like he’s sucked against AFC teams — he’s 38-20 against them. But the NFC seems to have a particular stench against the dual-threat signal-caller. Let’s take a look at Big Truzz’s track record:

• 2018: Defeated Falcons 26-16, Buccaneers 20-12
• 2019: Defeated Cardinals 23-17, Seahawks 30-16, Rams 45-6, 49ers 20-17
• 2020: Defeated Commanders 31-17, Eagles 30-28, Cowboys 34-17, Giants 27-13
• 2021: Defeated Lions 19-17, Vikings 34-31
• 2022: Lost to Giants 20-24, defeated Bucs 27-22, Saints 27-13, Panthers 13-3
• 2023: Defeated Lions 38-6, Cardinals 31-24, Seahawks 37-3, Rams 37-31, 49ers 33-19

Of all these opponents, only seven were playoff teams — the 2019 49ers and Seahawks, the 2020 Commanders, the 2022 Buccaneers and the 2023 Lions, Rams and 49ers. Seven other victims were teams that finished their seasons with six wins or less.

So, maybe the question isn’t “Why does Lamar Jackson own the NFC?” but rather “why does most of the NFC stink?”

Aside from the 49ers, there have been no real consistent powerhouses in the NFC over the past five years. Sure, the Cowboys have piled up three straight 12-win seasons, but they fold like bad origami in the playoffs every time.

The only other decent teams are just at the ‘pretty good’ level — Packers, Seahawks, Vikings, Washington, Buccaneers — except for a couple of one-hit wonders in the 2020 Bucs, 2021 Rams and 2022 Eagles. And Jackson avoided all of them.

Jackson, head coach John Harbaugh and the Ravens now turn their sights to the Cowboys. Baltimore is looking for its first win after two close losses, while the Cowboys are stinging from its 44-19 throttling by the Saints, eight months after being dismantled by the Packers in the 2024 playoffs.

If you want a glimpse at how to gauge this game, check out last year’s results. The Ravens were 6-1 against eventual playoff teams, while the Cowboys were 3-4, including lopsided disasters to the 49ers and Bills.

More and more, Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy and $240 million QB Dak Prescott are not looking like big-game winners. They can beat up on the weak but not on the strong.

But … your call. Will Action Jackson get to 21-1 vs the pitiful NFC? Or will Dallas finally show some spine?
