          OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- In Sunday's 41-10 win over the Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson earned a spot in NFL history with a special accessory.

          After his league-tying fourth game with a perfect passer rating, Jackson ran over to a young fan who was holding a sign that read: "Lamar Jackson I made a friendship bracelet for you." Jackson retrieved the bracelet and gave her his hat and a high-five in exchange.

          Jackson wore the bracelet on his right wrist during a news conference after the game and still had it on when he spoke to reporters on Monday.

          "I just like the bracelet, to be honest with you," Jackson said. "It's a dope gift -- I appreciate you."

          This isn't the first time that Jackson has received a unique gift. Last season, Jackson was gifted a rug that featured his likeness on it and put it in his bedroom.

          Jackson and the Ravens (6-3) have been giving fans plenty to cheer about this season. He is quarterbacking the No. 1 offense in the NFL, leading Baltimore to six wins over the past seven games.
