Lamar Jackson faces criticism after rough outing
The Baltimore Ravens quarterback, Lamar Jackson, has struggled to find his rhythm since returning from a hamstring injury. His recent performances have fallen short of the high standards he has set over his career.
In a Thanksgiving night matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, Jackson turned in a disappointing display. He coughed up the ball three times—two fumbles and an interception—while completing only 17 of 32 passes for 246 yards and failing to score a touchdown. This marked the first time in his career that the two-time NFL MVP went three consecutive games without throwing a touchdown pass.
Backlash from fans
Given Jackson’s status as a prominent quarterback, it’s not surprising that he has faced his share of criticism. However, one particular comment caught his attention. A user on social media posted an image of Jackson sitting on the sidelines, visibly frustrated with his hands on his head. The tweet quickly gained momentum, amassing over 500,000 views and 2,100 likes. The caption questioned Jackson’s reputation, asking, “Can we all agree that Lamar Jackson is at the very least a little overrated?”
A pointed response
In a move that sparked a frenzy among fans and followers, Jackson chose to respond to the critique with a succinct yet impactful one-word reply: “Sayless.” His retort resonated with many, reflecting both his frustration and determination to rise above the noise.
As Jackson navigates through this challenging stretch, the football world will undoubtedly keep a close eye on his next steps. The Ravens quarterback has shown resilience in the past, and fans will be eager to see how he bounces back from this rough patch.
