Nobody seemed to be taking Sunday’s AFC Divisional Round loss to the Buffalo Bills harder than Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Following another heartbreaking playoff 27-25 loss on Sunday, Jackson spoke to reporters and went on a profanity-laced rant about the three turnovers that Jackson said cost them the game.
“Like I’ve been saying all season, every time we’re in situations like this, turnovers play a factor,” Jackson told reporters. “Penalties play a factor. Tonight, it was turnovers. We can’t have that s—. And that’s why we lost the game.
“As you can see, we’re moving the ball wonderfully. Just hold onto the f—— ball. I’m sorry for my language, but this s— is annoying. I’m tired of this s—.”
Here’s the clip:

Lamar didn’t place any direct blame on tight end Mark Andrews, who had a costly fumble and dropped two passes in the game including the game-tying two-point conversion pass that would’ve tied the game late in the fourth quarter.
Jackson, this year’s MVP frontrunner alongside Allen, finished with 254 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
The Ravens have reached the playoffs in six of Jackson’s seven seasons as starter but crashed out in the wild-card or divisional round in five of those campaigns. The farthest Baltimore have gotten with Jackson under center is the 2023 AFC championship game, where they lost 17–10 to the Kansas City Chiefs.
