One of the most shocking losses of Week 12 came in Jacksonville, where the Ravens lost a two-point lead in the final six minutes of a 28-27 loss to Jaguars.
After the game, an NFL fan took to Twitter and called on the Ravens to let Lamar Jackson go at the end of the season, and the quarterback didn’t like it.
After seeing Jackson complete just 50% of his passes against the Jaguars, the fan wrote that the Ravens should “let Lamar walk and spend that money on a well-rounded team.”
The Ravens quarterback was tagged in the tweet and we know he definitely read it because not only did he respond, but he responded with something that could get him in hot water. Jackson told the “STFU” fan, while including a vulgar NSFW slur that we can’t show here (if you want to know the exact words he used, you can click here to find out).
Jackson’s tweet got more than 13,000 likes in the first hour it was up.
As for the Ravens fan who sent the tweet, he’s clearly frustrated with the Ravens’ inability to do anything on offense over the past few weeks. In the past six quarters alone, Baltimore has scored just one offensive touchdown.
While the fan would love to see Jackson leave Baltimore, that’s definitely not going to happen. Even though he’s in the final year of his rookie contract, there’s almost a zero percent chance that Jackson will eventually become a free agent. After the season ends, the Ravens will look to negotiate a new deal with Jackson, but even if they can’t work something out, Baltimore can still hit him with the franchise tag.
Despite struggling with his accuracy against the Jaguars, Jackson still managed to total 343 yards of offense, including 254 through the air and 89 on the ground. Jackson also quickly moved the ball upfield late in the game to set up Justin Tucker’s failed 67-yard field goal attempt to seal Baltimore’s loss.
