Lamar Jackson: My Mom Is Right, 'I'm Going to Do My S--t' After Ravens Loss to Eagles

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said he agreed when his mother, Felicia Jones, criticized his run game after Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

When asked if he passed up on opportunities to run during the loss, Jackson told reporters, "My mama just told me that."

"She just cussed me out," Jackson said, adding that his mother had pointed out available running lanes she believed he had missed.

"I was just trying to let guys develop routes, we had developing routes, I was just trying to go through my progressions," Jackson said. "But yeah, she's right. I'm going to do my s--t."

Jackson concluded: "I'm just mad, because I feel like we should win these games, and we're not getting them done."

Although he said he "wouldn't generalize" by saying that Jackson had missed run opportunities, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh praised the judgment of the quarterback's mother when asked about her comments after the loss.

"I really trust Lamar. I trust his mom, too," Harbaugh said, according to the team's official transcript. "His mom is a good judge. She's seen more of Lamar ball than anybody, so I'm sure she has a great handle on it. Let Lamar and his mom talk through all of that stuff. I trust Lamar to make good decisions.

"He's too good, [and] he's too productive moving around the pocket; he's too much of a problem for defenses, and he makes a lot of good decisions doing that."

The Ravens have found the most success this season when relying on Jackson's mobility and the team's run game. Four of the team's five losses, including the defeat by the Eagles, came after the club recorded fewer than 175 yards on the ground.

The Ravens fell to 8-5 with this latest loss, which marked the team's second in three games and dropped Baltimore toward the edge of the AFC playoff bubble heading into the Week 14 bye. Jackson said he "can't wait" until the break ends and he faces the New York Giants in Week 15.
