Lamar Jackson’s Mistakes Seal Ravens’ Playoff Fate

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson led his team into the AFC Divisional Round with high expectations, but a series of costly mistakes ultimately cost them against the Buffalo Bills.

Jackson’s errors were evident in several key moments, including a game-tying two-point conversion attempt that was dropped by tight-end Mark Andrews and a fumble in the second quarter that gifted the Bills possession. The Ravens’ offense struggled to find its footing, with three of their four first-half drives ending in interceptions, fumbles, or field goals.

In contrast, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had a stellar half, throwing three touchdowns without any turnovers. His performance left many wondering why Jackson was unable to replicate such success.

The Ravens’ loss has left fans disappointed and frustrated, with many questioning whether Lamar Jackson is truly capable of leading his team to victory in the biggest games. As he heads into year eight, Jackson will need to demonstrate significant improvement if he hopes to win over his doubters and lead the Ravens to playoff success.
