Quarterback Lamar Jackson accounted for two of his team’s three turnovers in the defeat, an interception and a fumble in the first half. Jackson’s typically trusty tight end, Mark Andrews, recorded a costly fumble in the fourth quarter and also dropped the potential game-tying two-point conversion.

But after the Ravens’ crushing playoff loss on Sunday — punctuated by Mark Andrews’ nightmare fourth quarter and a passionate defense from John Harbaugh — Jackson sure seems like he’s in line for a third career MVP and not even a single Super Bowl appearance.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson may be the league MVP in the eyes of most NFL fans, but he would presumably trade that individual award without

Jackson had two turnovers in the first half of the game, something he hadn't done in any game since 2021. He bounced back in the second half, including leading the team's final drive, which nearly tied the game if not for Mark Andrews's unfortunate drop on a two-point conversion.

After Josh Allen ended the game with a kneel down, the Bills quarterback made a beeline for Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. As the two embraced, the quarterbacks could be seen exchanging messages. Nothing was caught on camera, but Jackson shared what he told the Bills quarterback following the win.

The Buffalo Bills will play the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Divisional round, and Lamar Jackson said that he’s trying to beat Josh Allen, not be friends with him. Colin Cowherd says that this game means more to Lamar Jackson than Josh Allen.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is as dangerous a football player as they come, something Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller is well aware of headed into the AFC Divisional at Highmark Stadium.

Lamar Jackson said Josh Allen isn’t his buddy, and Jackson wants to take down the team that some are calling the Super Bowl favorite. But Allen offered fans hope with his analysis of the loss to the Ravens earlier in the season.

Jackson made it clear that he and Allen aren't going to kick back in the offseason and be buddies anytime soon.
