    and my wife has him on her Fantasy Football team. She saw the numbers and asked me “Who is Jamal Lewis? I think 297 yards is good, right?”

    sigh

    I think you should have to get those yards against an NFL team before they’ll count as a record.

    Go Jamal, Go Jamal,

    Yes, He’s on my fantasy team too. I WAS in last place.

    Jamal Lewis is back! Now if the Ravens could just come up with a quarterback that can actually complete a pass once in a while, then we might actually have a team that can go somewhere.

    Redman and Boller were almost painful to watch today. They are lucky their pathetic performances were buried under the news of Jamal’s incredible performance.

    Interestingly enough, Lewis had another run of 60+ yards called back because of offensive holding. Imagine how good his day could have been.
