Lamar Jackson's Postgame Interview With Erin Andrews Turning Heads

Before Saturday's contest, Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson had a 1-4 record against their AFC North rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers. This was the narrative that the two-time PFWA MVP faced all week long heading into the highly anticipated Baltimore-Pittsburgh clash.

Amid the criticism, however, Jackson stepped it up during the game to lead the Ravens to a convincing 34-17 victory. The former Louisville standout completed 15-of-23 passes for 207 yards and three touchdowns. He did throw one interception, but Jackson also had nine carries for an additional 22 yards.  

After the game, Fox Sports reporter Erin Andrews caught up with Jackson on the field. The veteran sportscaster asked Jackson what it took for him to rise to the occasion to lead his team to victory. 

Jackson, however, was quick to heap praise on his teammates. 

"Just all of us, all phases playing a great game," he said. "Staying locked in no matter what happened in the game. We knew what type of battle this would be... I feel like we played a better game against those guys. And we got it done."

Andrews then asked Jackson how this win felt for him on a personal level, considering all the criticism he faced heading into Sunday's clash. 

"Yeah, it felt good," Jackon responded. "Any win feels good, but especially against a rival like this. Yeah, I got a little monkey off my back for the time being right now."
