Lamar Jackson ‘Ticked Off’ About Postseason Debut Performance

The Baltimore Ravens had not been in the postseason since 2014 before yesterday afternoon’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers. It took them a change of quarterback in the middle of the season to turn their season around, going from 4-5 to 10-6 over the final seven games of the season with rookie Lamar Jackson under center.

While the Ravens had a losing record, the door opened for Jackson to start only because Joe Flacco suffered a hip injury, which ended up sidelining him for about a month. It wasn’t until after the team had begun racking up wins that Flacco was healthy enough to play, at which point the decision to stick with Jackson was made.
