Baltimore Ravens Lamar Jackson Admits Playoff Loss to Buffalo Bills Still Haunts

The Baltimore Ravens' 2024 season ended in a painful 27-25 playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills, marked by a crucial dropped two-point conversion pass from Lamar Jackson to Mark Andrews that would have tied the game. Jackson admitted he still hasn't gotten over the loss, saying he doesn’t get over any losses, including those from his youth, and has spent the offseason reviewing game film to understand and improve upon the team's shortcomings. Despite his high level of play and multiple MVP awards, Jackson has struggled to advance the Ravens past the AFC divisional rounds, drawing comparisons to Peyton Manning's early playoff challenges before eventually winning Super Bowls. Ravens quarterbacks coach Tee Martin noted Jackson's focus on learning from these defeats as a sign of his determination to overcome postseason hurdles. Analyst Joe Fortenbaugh expressed skepticism about the Ravens' ability to break through in the AFC despite recent roster additions like All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander. Jackson defended Andrews against criticism following the loss, emphasizing the lessons learned and the team's resolve to come back stronger.
