Lamar Jackson reacts to Steelers host’s criticism
Lamar Jackson faced a challenging Thanksgiving, marking a low point in his career as the Baltimore Ravens fell 32-14 to the Cincinnati Bengals. This game was particularly notable for the quarterback, as it marked the first time he had gone three consecutive games without throwing a touchdown pass.
Against the Bengals, Jackson struggled significantly, completing only 17 of his 32 attempts for 246 yards while also racking up three turnovers. His performance drew the ire of some critics, including a Pittsburgh Steelers radio host who took to social media to voice his opinion.
Criticism from Steelers’ host
The host, who has a history of stirring the pot, tweeted, “Can we all agree that Lamar Jackson is at the very least a little overrated?” This comment was likely aimed at fueling the rivalry between the Ravens and the Steelers, a longstanding and heated contest in the NFL.
Jackson’s quick response
In a swift and succinct reply, Jackson addressed the jab with a single, impactful word: “Sayless.” The tweet, which included a playful emoji, showcased Jackson’s ability to maintain his composure in the face of criticism while also hinting that he is unfazed by the remarks.
While the Ravens continue to face scrutiny, Jackson’s response exemplifies the competitive spirit that defines not just his career but also the intense rivalry between the Ravens and Steelers. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Jackson to see how he bounces back from this Thanksgiving setback.
