Lamar Jackson said he delivered a profane halftime speech to remind the Ravens how good they are

A fiery Lamar Jackson is something we’ll have to get used to.

If there’s one thing we should’ve learned from the Baltimore Ravens’ dominant win over the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional Round on Saturday, it’s this — never mess with Lamar Jackson.

After the Houston Texans successfully stymied the Ravens for a half, Jackson apparently lit into his teammates and coaches at halftime. When asked who did most of the talking after an alarming 10-10 half, Jackson professed that he did while using a lot of “cursing” that he couldn’t repeat in the microphone.

In the end, it was about reminding the 13-win Ravens how good they are. That they should be manhandling an underdog like the Texans without mercy. Jackson and his team would respond perfectly with an emphatic 24-0 second half en route to a berth in next Sunday’s AFC title game.

Whatever Jackson said, it clearly worked!

A fiery and heated Jackson isn’t something we’ve seen much on the field. It’s just not usually his approach to the game. But even getting a little hint of it is such a treat. We’re watching an MVP-caliber quarterback craft his legacy in real time. We should start appreciating that much more.
