Lamar Jackson Has ‘The Fire’

Print this article

Perhaps no play better defines Lamar Jackson than when the Ravens were called for a delay-of-game penalty late in the third quarter.

Jackson had been screaming at center Matt Skura to snap the ball, fully aware of how much he had left on the 40-second clock.

But the crowd disrupted the cadence.

When the referees threw the flag, Jackson angrily spiked the ball and implored his offense to do better. He then patted Skura on the helmet as a sign of encouragement.

Three plays later, Jackson scored on an 8-yard run … on a 4th and 2 … that gave the Ravens a seven-point lead they never relinquished.
