After holding on for a 28-25 win over the Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson seemed anything but happy. He made waves on social media for his post-game comments in which he said the Ravens needed that win bad because “some people were on suicide watch,” and he later let his ornery side come out later on the team plane when teammate Marlon Humphrey tried to get him to discuss the team’s win on Instagram Live.
Jackson started to comment on how important the Ravens’ first win of the season was before reversing course and scolding Humphrey for bragging about a win the team nearly squandered away. “Honestly, it’s a little [frustrating] right now because that wasn’t pretty,” Jackson stated. “…You shouldn’t even be on live right now. We need to be getting right.”
Humphrey acknowledged Jackson’s comments and promptly shut down his live feed, but not before fans got a behind-the-scenes look at Jackson’s frustration with his team. The Ravens lost both of their first two games of the season, both were one-score games and both lost in the final minute of the fourth quarter.
Sunday’s win, Humphrey contributed just one tackle, two passes defensed and a QB hit. Baltimore ran up a 21-3 lead with 25 seconds left in the second quarter before its defense allowed the Cowboys to climb back into it. The Ravens allowed a three-play, 37-yard drive right before halftime that let Dallas pull to within 21-6, and they surrendered three Cowboys touchdowns in six minutes in the fourth quarter to blow their three-touchdown lead. While the near-comeback wasn’t all Humphrey’s fault, Jackson clearly wasn’t pleased with the job his defense did in not putting the Cowboys away.
