Lamar Jackson Trolls NFL's Troy Vincent over Ravens Replay Comments, 'So Technically We Won?'

After NFL Executive VP of Football Operations Troy Vincent suggested that a crucial call in the Baltimore Ravens' matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14 should've gone the Ravens' way, quarterback Lamar Jackson chimed in on social media.

Jackson joked that the Ravens had the "first offseason win ever" after the ruling.

The call in question came in the final three minutes of the Week 14 game. Isaiah Likely appeared to have scored a go-ahead touchdown, but the replay overturned the on-field official's ruling.

Vincent told Mark Maske of the Washington Post (h/t Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith) that the league office has reviewed a handful of replay rulings from the 2025 season.

"There was two plays in particular," Vincent said. "There was the Likely play . . . Ravens-Steelers in the end zone. And then you had the one—there was a Jets play. But it was the Likely play that you go, that was interesting because of the third step and they were talking about the ball extended out. So it was: What constitutes that third act?"

The ruling that Likely's catch was not a touchdown was especially consequential because, had he scored, the Ravens likely would have won the game and, in turn, won the AFC North and made the playoffs. Instead, Baltimore finished the year 8-9, missed the postseason and fired head coach John Harbaugh.

Vincent said that while there were only a handful of questionable rulings this year, the majority of them occurred during the early Sunday window when the most games are happening at once.

"When you watch, there was about five plays," Vincent said. "Of the 171 plays that we called on replay or replay assist that came back to the booth, there were five that we said if we had to do it again, on just the replay assist, in general. Of that 171 that occurred during [the] regular season, there were five after we kind of took a step back and breathed —four of them [were] in the 1 o'clock window. Just volume and you go, 'Ah, if we had to do that one again, just looking at it.'"

By acknowledging that early-window reviews tend to be more questionable than at other times, it seems the league will take measures to avoid such scenarios in 2026. Jackson, Likely and the Ravens certainly hope that will be the case.
