“Don’t Play With My Emotions”: Ravens Playoff Decision On Lamar Jackson Amidst Knee Injury Scare Leaves Internet In Splits

Lamar Jackson started the season with a chain of head turning performances. With the Cincinnati Bengals losing 3 out of their 5 opening games, it looked like the Baltimore Ravens will take the division. However, the team lacking weapons in the wide area could not continue the fight once Bengals picked up the pace. Especially after the injury of their QB. Jackson went out of the game against the Denver Broncos on 4th December. The player suffered from a knee injury and has not since stepped on the field or in practice.

The NFL only has one game week remaining in the regular season. Nevertheless, that only marks the excitement that is to come in the postseason. HC John Harbaugh and his team will be looking ahead to the wild card round. Their probable matchup is likely to be the Bungles. But the general feeling around the fans is simple to understand. Without Lamar, they’re toast.

Fortunately for those fans, there is a sliver of hope. ESPN Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter has disclosed there might be a chance that the 25-year-old will be back for the playoffs.

Fans react to the Lamar Jackson update

Since the news was shared, the fans have taken their concerns and hopes to twitter. Jackson has not played 4 straight games and has been out of the practice sessions all this time as well. But there are a few fans who are still expecting a miracle.

While there is also a faction of supporters who simply do not understand why the QB would risk aggravating his injury, especially without securing the bag.

Besides these, the internet, like always, has found a way to get a chuckle out of the situation.

The former MVP will not get any warm up time as he has been ruled out for week 18 game against the Bengals. “Lamar’s working as hard as he can,” Harbaugh told reporters on Friday. “The trainers are working as hard as they can. …That’s where we’re at. He won’t be playing in this game, we’re hopeful for next week.”

Even though the Joe Burrow led side has already cliched the AFC North division title. The cancellation of their game against the Buffalo Bills will mean that there is much more at stake. If the Bengals lose, they will leave the home field advantage up to a coin toss.
