Lamar Jackson playoffs record drops to 2-4: I'm not frustrated, I'm angry

Baltimore Ravens fall short of Super Bowl after disappointing loss to Kansas City Chiefs in AFC championship game.

The Baltimore Ravens fell short of their goal of making it to the Super Bowl, losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game. Lamar Jackson, the Ravens' quarterback, expressed his frustration and anger at the team's performance, noting that they did not play up to their usual standard. The Ravens committed too many penalties, turned the ball over three times, and struggled to put points on the board. Jackson himself had an uneven performance, throwing for 272 yards but making few big plays.

Despite the loss, Ravens coach John Harbaugh praised Jackson's effort and performance, acknowledging that he had given everything he had. The team's rookie, Zay Flowers, had a strong game with five catches for 115 yards and the Ravens' lone touchdown, but also made mistakes, including an inexcusable taunting penalty and a fumble at the goal line. The Ravens were flagged eight times for 95 yards, while the Chiefs played a more disciplined game, committing only three penalties and controlling the ball for 15 more minutes than the Ravens.

The loss marked the end of a season in which the Ravens faced adversity, made significant changes to their roster and offensive system, and defied expectations to reach the AFC championship game. Looking ahead, Jackson emphasized the team's need to finish strong in the future. The Ravens will now regroup and consider what went wrong in this game, with the hope of returning stronger next season.
