Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson recently spoke out against fans who expressed disappointment when their prop bets fell short despite the team winning a game. The star quarterback faced criticism after the Ravens defeated the Buffalo Bills 35-10, with Jackson only recording 156 passing yards in the game. Some fans appeared to be upset that Jackson did not meet their player prop bet targets.
In response to the backlash, Jackson took to Twitter to address the issue, emphasizing that football is a team sport and that winning games is the ultimate priority. He stated that individual statistics, such as passing yards, are not as important as securing a victory for the team. Jackson urged fans to refrain from commenting on social media about their failed bets, emphasizing that the team’s success is what truly matters.
When questioned by reporters about his comments, Jackson reiterated that the team’s focus is solely on winning games and not on individual achievements. He emphasized that players at the highest level of the sport are driven by the desire to win games, rather than to fulfill fans’ betting expectations.
Despite a slow start to the NFL season, the Ravens currently hold a 2-2 record and are preparing to face the Cincinnati Bengals in Ohio on Sunday. Jackson’s remarks highlight the team’s commitment to success on the field, regardless of individual statistics or fan expectations.
