“People say anything” – Lamar Jackson throws shade at Skip Bayless after wild ‘over the edge’ claim
Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens came away with a big win in Monday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints and are now 6-3. During the game, Jackson was seen yelling at his offensive linemen after a delay of game penalty.
There have been many instances this season where the quarterbacks have been seen yelling at their O-linemen and Jackson doing it was no surprise. However, Skip Bayless was taken aback by the scene.

While debating with Shannon Sharpe on Undisputed, Skip Bayless talked about why he didn't like Lamar Jackson yelling at his teammates. Here's what he said:
"I'm an even bigger Lamar fan than you are. But that was a bad look to me, because I don't mind him firing the football. It's anger at lack of perfection because you got to be better than that. Because that's it's inexcusable because you can eliminate that kind of a penalty."
Bayless continued:
"It's aimed at the guard. Right. Okay. So So now, here we go. And it's one thing to fire the football. It was another thing for Lamar. He just went over the edge, and they get into a screaming match on live national TV."
"I'm a big Lamar Jackson fan, but that was a bad look to me. He went over the edge."

As is visible, Lamar Jackson and Ronnie Stanley have already reconciled following their altercation in the game against the Saints. The Ravens are playing well and chemistry is off the charts among the players in the franchise.
They are currently at the top of the AFC North and have a great chance of claiming the division title from the Cincinnati Bengals this season.
Lamar Jackson needs to perform in the playoffs
Although the Ravens quarterback is having a great season this year, he needs to show up big time in the playoffs this season. So far in his career, Jackson has a 1-3 record in the playoffs.
In those four games has a passer rating of 68.3 with 900 yards, three touchdowns, and five interceptions. Lamar Jackson hasn't played well in the playoffs so far in his career. He is looking for a big contract after this season and a good performance in the playoffs this time around could help his case even more. His priority, however, is to guide Baltimore into the postseason.
