Playoff losses are mounting and they’re getting to Lamar Jackson. The usually mild-mannered quarterback lashed out verbally with an expletive-laden tirade after the Baltimore Ravens were beaten 27-25 by the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Playoffs.

Jackson threw an interception and lost a fumble in the first half. Mistakes that left the two-time NFL MVP fuming, despite an All-Pro teammate making more critical errors.

Facing the media at Highmark Stadium on Sunday, January 19, Jackson told reporters, including Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, I threw a [expletive] interception.” Zrebiec noted Jackson also “Said he knew what coverage Bills were in and he didn’t look off safety.”

“It’s [expletive] annoying. Sorry about my language. I’m tired of this [expletive]. l Protect the ball and we’re not having these conversations.”

Jackson’s frustration boiled over after another near-miss in pursuit of that elusive Super Bowl win. It’s a pursuit leaving the 28-year-old exhausted and with a sense of urgency, per Zrebiec: “I got to get over this. We’re right there. I’m tired of being right there. We need to punch our ticket.”

The waiting game is taking its toll on Jackson because he has so little to show after playing the best football of his career this season.
