Lamar Jackson was frustrated with his own issues in Sunday night's loss.
Jackson talked about his frustrations with the lack of ball security when speaking to reporters after a 27-25 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs.
“Just hang on to the fucking ball,” Jackson said. “I'm sorry for the language, but this s–t is boring. I'm tired of this s–t.”

The 28-year-old finished 18-of-25 for 254 yards and two touchdowns with an interception.
Jackson revealed that he knew what coverage the Bills were in during the play that caught him, but he didn't look away from the safety and called it a “BS interception” ( via Jeff Zrebiec The Athletic).
“I protect the ball and we will not have those conversations,” he added, according to Zrebic.
He also rushed for 39 yards on six attempts, losing a fumble in the second quarter.
Jackson has already established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, with four Pro Bowl honors and two MVP awards. He continued to play at a high level during his 2024 campaign, throwing for 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns compared to four interceptions.
He also rushed for 915 yards and four more scores.
The playoffs have given Jackson trouble, as he now owns a 3-5 record in eight postseason starts. He also scored just 13 touchdowns while committing 11 turnovers during his playoff career.
After making the AFC Championship Game during the 2023 season, Jackson and the Ravens were eliminated in the divisional round for the third time since the team drafted him in 2018.
