The Baltimore Ravens announced that Lamar Jackson entered the concussion protocol after taking a hit at the end of the second half of the AFC division’s playoff game against Buffalo Bills. Since then, it has been discarded until the end of the game. Jackson was thrown to the floor at the end of the third quarter after a bad snap forced the defender to improvise in his own final zone and get rid of football. From there, Jackson received his strongest blow of the night.
Trent Murphy delivered the blow that caused the Ravens quarterback to fall on his back for several minutes. Jackson left the field on his own and entered the locker room. Tyler Huntley replaced Jackson as a quarterback and will end the game for Baltimore.
Jackson had a third quarter he would like to forget, throwing a 101-yard interception return to Taron Johnson in the Ravens’ previous possession that gave Buffalo a 17-3 lead. Johnson drew with George Teague in the biggest interception return in NFL playoff history. The interception was Jackson’s first in the red zone of his career (regular and post-season).
Jackson finished the game 14 out of 24 for 162 yards with an interception and a passer rating of 61.5. He also had nine loads for 34 yards.
