Lamar Jackson was taking heat on social media after making a joke considered to be in poor taste following the Baltimore Ravens’ win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
The Ravens held on for a 28-25 win after leading by 22 points to start the fourth quarter and avoided going down 0-3 in the wake of losses to the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders.
Jackson threw 12-for-15 to the tune of 182 yards and a touchdown. Dak Prescott went 28-51 for 379 yards and two scores, but Dallas could not get into the end zone in the first half.
Still, they managed to make it a one-score game with a 19-point rally in the fourth quarter.
The Ravens quarterback spoke to FOX Sports’ Tom Rinaldi after the game and joked that Baltimore absolutely had to win as some fans were on “suicide watch.”
“We needed it bad. I believe some people was on suicide watch,” he said.
