Lamar Jackson’s Frustration Builds After Tough First Half Against Chiefs

Kansas City, MO – Lamar Jackson‘s frustration boiled over during the first half of the game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The Baltimore Ravens entered halftime trailing 20-10 at Arrowhead Stadium.

Jackson’s issues peaked late in the second quarter after he fumbled the ball, which led to the Chiefs’ opportunity for a late field goal. After the fumble, cameras captured him angrily throwing his helmet on the sidelines. At that moment, the Chiefs were leading 20-7. Harrison Butker missed a subsequent 56-yard field goal attempt, allowing Jackson and the Ravens to respond with a field goal of their own to cut the lead to 20-10.

In the first half, Jackson completed 12 of 18 passes for 108 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. He also rushed five times for 41 yards, contributing to a challenging game for Baltimore’s offense. The touchdown came on the opening drive when Jackson connected with Justice Hill, who scored on a short screen pass.

Despite Jackson’s early success, the remainder of the half proved difficult for the Ravens. They began Week 4 with a disappointing 1-2 record, and the team’s struggles have likely increased Jackson’s frustration, reflecting concerns beyond just this game. After three weeks of play, the Ravens ranked high in points scored but struggled to secure victories.

This season, Jackson’s statistics remain impressive, with a completion rate of 72% for 722 yards and nine touchdowns, holding a passer rating of 141.8 – the best in the league. However, the lack of wins overshadowed these achievements. Both Baltimore and Kansas City entered Week 4 at 1-2, meaning one will exit with a 1-3 record unless they tie.
