Earlier this week Lamar Jackson admitted that his past playoff performances left a lot to be desired . In an effort to remedy that, he put the Baltimore Ravens on his back and single-handedly carried them to a much-needed score on Sunday.
With just under three minutes remaining in the second quarter and his team down 10-3 to the Tennessee Titans, Jackson smoothly escaped pressure in the pocket and then took off for what would ultimately be a 48-yard touchdown run.
Jackson’s decision to take matters into his own hands (and feet) was exactly what Baltimore needed.
After getting into the end zone, Jackson was caught on a hot mic letting all his emotions out. (Warning: Jackson uses salty language.)
“What the f- -k y'all talking about?” he could be heard saying.
Jackson faced a lot of criticism in the lead-up to Sunday’s outing, but it wasn’t exactly unwarranted. If he truly wants to silence the haters, all he has to do is win when it matters most.
