Lamar Jackson makes a fan out of legendary award-winning actor following playoff win

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson exorcised some demons on Saturday in the Wild Card round. Against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the MVP candidate proved exactly why he's in that conversation.

Jackson and the Ravens haven't seen tons of success against their division rival in recent years, but they dominated from start to finish to earn a Divisional Round berth.

The Ravens QB totaled 175 passing yards and two passing touchdowns, along with 81 rushing yards on the ground. It honestly looked a bit easy for him against a vaunted unit from Pittsburgh, and celebrities took notice.

Samuel L. Jackson shows Lamar love

The long-time, award-winning actor dawned a Lamar Jackson inspired hoodie in his post that read "In L We Truzz". Of course, that's a nod to the Ravens star quarterback.

The 76-year-old actor is from Washington, DC. Jackson is considered the highest-grossing actor of all-time due to the success of his films throughout his illustrious acting career.

The former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL QB, Robert Griffin III, is ready for the Ravens' next playoff showdown. He's pumped for a battle of MVP candidates.

The Ravens are set to face the Buffalo Bills next weekend with a chance to advance to the AFC Championship on the line. I'd expect Samuel L. Jackson to tune into that matchup, too.
