ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky wanted to deliver a stern apology over his words that involved Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews.
Following Sunday’s epic game between the Ravens and Bills, one where Orlovsky watched as the two AFC powerhouses punched back and forth until a two-point conversion from Jackson to tight end Mark Andrews fell to the ground, the former QB had a lot to say.
Orlovsky was in awe of the game he’d just watched, but he couldn’t help but notice that people were blasting Jackson and Andrews over the failed conversion.
“If you put the loss on Lamar tonight, respectfully, you’re a loser,” Orlovsky said in part.
He continued, “Mark Andrews is one of the all time ravens—he had a brutal drop and fumble yes. If you’re gonna use that to trash him, respectfully, you’re a loser.”
On Tuesday morning on First Take, Dan Orlovsky was apologetic for how he handled critics of Lamr Jackson and Mark Andrews.
“I shouldn’t do that and call people that… it’s hard to be a little bit overly critical in that moment of Lamar, if I’m just being real — and it’s our job — but having talked with him, you know how much he wants it.”
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson committed a couple of uncharacteristic turnovers, and it hurt his team in the end.
During the 27-25 loss to the Bills, Jackson finished with 254 yards and one interception on 18-for-25 throwing while gathering 39 yards on six carries and a fumble.
Mark Andrews had five catches for 61 yards in the game, but the fumble and dropped two-pointer were absolutely devastating to the Ravens’ chances to win.
Lamar Jackson Was Heated After The Game
Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens suffered yet another heartbreaking playoff loss; this time, he let his emotions out.
A visibly “angry” Jackson placed the blame for Sunday night’s loss on turnovers.
“Turnovers,” Jackson told reporters. “We can’t have that (expletive). … Hold onto the (expletive) ball. I’m sorry for my language. This (expletive) is annoying. I’m tired of this (expletive).”
Now, the Ravens head into the offseason looking to find another answer to their playoff woes.
