Lamar Jackson fired back at a Ravens critic Sunday following the team’s stunning loss to the Jaguars in a vulgar tweet that has since been deleted.
A short time after the Ravens suffered their fourth loss of the season, Jackson — who went 16-for-32 for 254 yards and one touchdown in the 28-27 loss — responded to a fan who critiqued his performance and pursuit of a lucrative contract extension.
“When someone is asking for over 250 mil guaranteed like @Lj_era8… games like this should not come to @jtuck9 [Ravens kicker Justin Tucker]. Let Lamar walk and spend that money on a well rounded [sic] team,” the critic tweeted, tagging Baltimore’s quarterback in the message.
Jackson then alleged the fan “never smelt a football field” in his profane response, which also included a homophobic insult.

“Boy STFU y’all be cappin too much on this app mf never smelt a football field never did s— but eat d—k,” he wrote.
The quarterback’s tweet was deleted hours later, per ESPN.
The Twitter exchange came after a wild finish in Jacksonville. The Ravens took a 27-20 lead with just over two minutes remaining before Trevor Lawrence led a drive that ended with a touchdown and a successful two-point conversion with seconds to go in regulation. Tucker came up just short with a 67-yard field-goal attempt as time expired.

Although the Ravens are very much in the mix of the AFC playoff race at 7-4, it remains to be seen if Baltimore and Jackson can agree on an extension for the future.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported in September that Jackson turned down a contract offer believed to be worth around $250 million.
Jackson, the league MVP in 2019, has thrown for 2,231 yards, 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions through 11 games this season.
