UPDATE: Lamar Jackson is speaking out as the Baltimore Ravens prepare for a decisive matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday, January 7, 2024. With speculation swirling around his future and trade rumors intensifying, Jackson is fully committed to leading his team in this pivotal game, which will determine the final AFC playoff spot.
Addressing the media just days before the high-stakes showdown, Jackson expressed his frustration over the ongoing criticism regarding his performance and relationship with head coach John Harbaugh. “I was really hurt. I don’t know why I gotta get questioned,” he stated emphatically during a press conference on Thursday. He reinforced his dedication, adding, “I never quit on my team before. I never quit anything, to be honest with y’all.”
Jackson’s comments come as the Ravens face a must-win scenario against their division rivals. He emphasized that his focus is solely on the game, saying, “We gotta focus on winning right now. Contract talk will be after the season, but during the season, I’m locked in.” The Ravens enter this game with the added pressure of needing a victory to secure the division title.
Jackson, who missed last week’s game, confirmed that he is ready to take the field after successful treatments. “I feel great to be out there with my guys,” he said, expressing excitement about returning to action. His return is seen as a crucial boost for the Ravens, who recently defeated the Green Bay Packers with backup quarterback Ty Huntley at the helm.
With the Ravens favored to win by over a field goal, the stakes couldn’t be higher. The team knows that the winner of this game will not only claim the division but also a critical playoff position. Jackson acknowledged the significance of the matchup, stating, “There’s always noise. It’s the National Football League. Still gotta focus on winning.”
As kickoff approaches, all eyes will be on Jackson and the Ravens in this electrifying encounter against the Steelers, set to air on Sunday Night Football. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see if Jackson can silence the critics and lead his team to victory when it matters most.
