Ravens' Lamar Jackson Plans on Watching Beyoncé's NFL Christmas Day Halftime Show

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson says he doesn't plan on missing Beyoncé's show at halftime of his team's Christmas Day game against the Houston Texans.

When asked on Monday if he was disappointed she was performing at a halftime show he can't watch, Jackson answered, "Nah, because I'm going to go out there and watch."

"First time seeing Beyoncé perform, and it's at our game? That's dope," Jackson said during Monday's media availability. "I'm going to go out there and watch... Sorry fellas."

The Texans and Ravens are slated to kick off Wednesday's Week 17 game in Beyoncé's hometown of Houston at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Beyoncé is slated to take the stage at around 5:45 p.m. ET, depending on the speed of the first half. The show will be the singer's first since releasing her eighth album, "Cowboy Carter."

Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has said he expects a "playoff atmosphere" as both teams look to secure high seeds heading into the postseason with a win on Wednesday. How tense the game is through two quarters could influence the likelihood any players actually return to the field to watch the show.

The NFL's Christmas Day slate will begin earlier on Wednesday with a pre-recorded Mariah Carey concert before the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers kick off in Pittsburgh at 1 p.m. ET.
