Lamar Jackson Places Blame After Sunday Night's Crushing Loss
01/19/2025 10:39 PM
Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens suffered yet another heartbreaking playoff loss on Sunday evening.
Baltimore fell to Buffalo, 27-25, at Highmark Stadium in Upstate New York on Sunday evening. The Ravens and the Bills traded blows, but ultimately, John Harbaugh's team just made too many mistakes. The Bills and Josh Allen took care of the football and are off to the AFC Championship Game.
It was a tough night overall for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. Jackson turned the ball over twice, with a first half interception and a first half fumble. Ravens tight end Mark Andrews had a crushing fumble in the second half, too.
Of course, there was also the dropped two-point conversion by Andrews with less than two minutes to play in the fourth quarter. But Lamar Jackson is placing the blame in a different direction.

A visibly "angry" Lamar Jackson placed the blame for Sunday night's loss on one thing while speaking to the media following the loss in Buffalo.
Turnovers.
"Turnovers," Jackson told reporters. "We can't have that (expletive). … Hold onto the (expletive) ball. I'm sorry for my language. This (expletive) is annoying. I'm tired of this (expletive)."
#Ravens QB Lamar Jackson: "Turnovers. We can't have that sh*t. … Hold onto the f**king ball. I'm sorry for my language. This sh*t is annoying. I'm tired of this sh*t."

Lamar Jackson is essentially blaming himself for Sunday night's loss, as he had two turnovers on Sunday evening. You're not going to win too many big road playoff games while turning the ball over three times.
Yes, the Ravens had a chance to tie it up late, and Mark Andrews dropped a pass he probably catches 99 out of 100 times, but the Ravens made way too many mistakes before that game.
The Bills are now off to the AFC Championship Game, to take on the Kansas City Chiefs. The AFC Championship Game will be airing on CBS next weekend.
Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. E.T.
