Lamar Jackson gave a cheeky explanation for why he held his pants up during mid-game scramble

The buns must be protected at all costs.

Lamar Jackson wasn’t going to be caught slipping against the Giants.

On Sunday, Baltimore got off to a bit of a slow start against New York, but as you would expect, they turned it on pretty quickly. Eventually, the Ravens were in rhythm, easily marching down the field. A lot of it was thanks to Lamar Jackson doing Lamar Jackson things, including running when he needed to. But there was one play that was a little bit different.

Lamar was mid-scramble when his pants unexpectedly started falling. There’s not a lot you can do during that moment. So, he improvised. “I felt like wind was touching my butt,” Jackson hilariously explained postgame. “I was trying to keep my tight up for real…the tights…got a little loose or something. I don’t know. So, I was just trying to keep my pants up. That’s all it was. It was too cold out there.”
