Ravens set record for rushing yards in a season

BALTIMORE -- Lamar Jackson wasn't playing Sunday, but the Baltimore Ravens still set an NFL record.

On Gus Edwards' 9-yard run early in the second quarter, the Ravens surpassed the 1978 New England Patriots for most rushing yards in a single season. The Patriots ran for 3,165 yards that season, a record that stood for 41 years.

Needing 93 yards entering Sunday's game, Baltimore kept it on the ground and totaled 89 yards rushing in the first quarter against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the NFL's No. 11 run defense.
