Lamar Jackson's Winning Mindset: "If I Throw for 50 Yards and We WIN, That's What Matters

Despite impressive stats, Lamar Jackson emphasizes team victory over personal accolades, silencing critics who prioritize statistics over wins in the NFL.

In the aftermath of the Baltimore Ravens' resounding 35-10 victory over the Buffalo Bills, quarterback Lamar Jackson took to social media to address fans disappointed with his passing yards, a testament to his unwavering focus on team success.

Jackson's message was clear: personal statistics take a backseat to the ultimate goal of winning. "This is a ‘TEAM’ sport," he asserted. "I’m not out here satisfied when I threw for 300 [yards] but took a L. If I throw for 50 [yards] and we WIN, that’s wtf matters. Y’all stop commenting on our socials about the [yards] y’all FanDuel or parlays ain’t hit."

This mindset aligns with the Ravens' recent resurgence, with consecutive wins over the Dallas Cowboys and Bills. Led by Jackson's exceptional play, Baltimore has surged to the top of the AFC North standings.

Jackson's stance resonates with his teammates. Derrick Henry, who rushed for an impressive 199 yards and a touchdown against Buffalo, echoed Jackson's sentiment: "We’re going in there and we’re trying to win games."

The Ravens' unwavering focus on winning extends beyond the field. Jackson understands the pressure fantasy football and sports betting can put on players, but he refuses to let it distract from his primary objective.

"All our lives we’ve played football, we’ve gotten to the highest level – the professional level to win games and not to help people’s parlay," he explained. "We’re not betting on the games, you can’t even bet on games and stuff like that. So we’re not worried about that."

Jackson's remarks serve as a reminder of the true purpose of professional football: to win. While individual statistics and accolades are undoubtedly important, they pale in significance to the ultimate goal – hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.

The Ravens' journey continues on Sunday, October 2, as they travel to Cincinnati to face the AFC North-rival Bengals. With Jackson at the helm, Baltimore aims to continue its winning ways and prove that team victory trumps all else.
