The Cowboys and Ravens matchup ended in wild fashion. Lamar Jackson led Baltimore to a 28-6 lead going into the fourth quarter until Dallas scored 19 unanswered points.
The Ravens won 28-25, but while taking the field for one of the game’s last drives, Jackson looked directly into the camera and said, “Stop cheating us, bro.”
WOW… #RAVENS STAR LAMAR JACKSON WENT OFF ON THE REFS FOR CALLING AN AWFUL GAME TODAY.
“STOP CHEATING US BRO”

This came after a few questionable calls from the refs. The first was a missed safety that should have resulted in two points for the Ravens.

Later in the fourth quarter, safety Marcus Williams was called for illegal contact after barely touching tight end Jake Ferguson. At this point, many people thought exactly about what Lamar had said.

However, the final straw was a roughing the passer penalty on the Ravens after what looked like a very clean attempt at sacking Dak Prescott.

All of these controversial calls and non-calls certainly validate the frustrations Lamar had shown.
