Lamar Jackson unleashes NSFW rant on fan, then deletes tweet
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was already in a foul mood after Sunday’s 28-27 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, so when a fan called him out on Twitter, Jackson didn’t pull any punches.
Jackson unleashed an expletive-laden firestorm on said fan, who suggested the Ravens let Jackson walk and take the $250-plus million contract that he’s been seeking and invest it in other players.
It’s not known if Jackson will face any potential discipline from the Ravens or the NFL for the since-deleted tweet.
Jackson completed 16 of 32 passes for 254 yards and a touchdown while rushing for another 89 yards against the Jaguars, who outscored the Ravens 17-14 in the final quarter to hand them their fourth loss of the season.
The 25-year-old QB has just one multi-touchdown game in his last eight starts after beginning the year with 12 touchdowns in Baltimore’s first three games.
Jacksonville scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 10-play, 75-yard drive with 14 seconds left. Head coach Doug Pederson boldly went for the 2-point conversion, and one Trevor Lawrence-to-Zay Jones pass play later, the Jags upset the AFC North-leading Ravens.
