Lamar Jackson and his Baltimore Ravens didn’t need their full-strength squad to beat the Saints on Monday night. The Ravens breezed past the Saints and won the game 27-13. Lamar Jackson, as usual, was problematic for the Saints’ defense. However, even though his team won, the quarterback that strives for perfection found himself in a battle that was streamed on National Television.

Lamar threw 12 for 22 with a touchdown to his name. He also put on a mobility clinic, showing off his swift moves. Throwing no interceptions, the quarterback had done his job for the team. However, he was involved in a verbal back-and-forth with a teammate on one of their plays.
Lamar Jackson under the radar
Profound NFL analyst Skip Bayless had a thing or two to say about this act. On his show, he called out Lamar Jackson after stating he was one of his biggest fans. Bayless thought Jackson’s demeanor was not right and set a poor example. He even thought there were contractual worries behind the quarterback’s frustration.
Ronnie Stanley and Jackson’s back and forth seemed very normal as Stanley took to a meme to react to Bayless’s comments. Even the Ravens QB got in on the jokes as he responded to him, showing some of his wit.
As for the rest of the world, this was a platform to get in on the conspiracy theories behind Jackson’s behavior.
Lamar’s fans back him
A fan called out Bayless for his comments as he recognized this altercation as a sign of greatness.

Another fan let Skip know how he felt about his comments. He let him know how competition works.
Skip should’ve mentioned that players weren’t allowed to play with fire and passion. That’s ok next time y’all can just be passive and chill, sorry about that Skip lol

A fan called Bayless out for unnecessarily trying to stir the pot.
Yes cuz dude was definitely trying to make something out of nothing. Totally missed the point when Lamar said in the post game interview that you and Ronnie was fine it was a heat of battle situation but yall brothers. He totally skipped over that point.
