NFL quarterback Lamar Jackson made his thoughts clear on his rivalry with Buffalo Bills’ quarterback Josh Allen ahead of their Sunday matchup.
Jackson stated that he views Allen as an opponent, not a friend, emphasizing that he focuses on improving rather than socializing during the offseason.
The two quarterbacks were drafted in the same round and will likely be linked for years to come, but Jackson prioritizes competition over camaraderie. When asked about their shared legacy, Jackson said they’ll reflect on it when older and potentially laugh about it, but right now, he’s solely focused on beating Allen.
