Tragic: Following his ordeal, Lamar Jackson announced his resignation today, displaying extreme rage.
When a spot in the Super Bowl was on the line, Lamar Jackson acknowledged he was unhappy that the offense that carried his club to the best record in the NFL during the regular season would not click.
Before Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Ravens had won seven of Jackson’s previous games, scoring 33.9 points per contest on average during that time. However, the offense only managed 10 points in the game against Kansas City and made three mistakes, including a Jackson fumble and interception.
“We’re mad,” Jackson, the favourite for this season’s MVP award, said after Sunday’s 17-10 loss to the Chiefs. “Offense, we didn’t put nothing on the board. We scored once. That’s not like us. We drove the ball down the field. That’s cool. But we got to put points on the board. But I feel like my team just angry, not frustrated, we just angry. We know how hard we worked to get here.”
Jackson had some fine moments on Sunday, including a touchdown pass after somehow avoiding a sack by Leo Chenal. But, against a suffocating Chiefs defense, he was nowhere near as fluid as he has been for most of this season. Sunday’s defeat means Jackson now has a 2-4 record in the playoffs, and is fuel for those who believe he shrinks in the spotlight. He has eight turnovers to four touchdowns in his playoff career. However his head coach, John Harbaugh, said he is not worried about a player who is still only 27.
“I told him to stand up tall,” Harbaugh said. “He’s had a great season, his performance today was all heart. He fought, he went out there and gave everything he had. So I don’t think that’s anything that I’d be disappointed in.”
Meanwhile, the Chiefs are going to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in five years with the chance to become the first back-to-back champions since the 2004 New England Patriots.
