Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said Sunday night that his mother “cussed” him out after the game because of his lack of rushing attempts.
Lamar Jackson seemed to find an edge against the Philadelphia Eagles with his ability to run the ball, but the Baltimore Ravens ultimately failed to come away with the victory on Sunday evening.
Jackson threw the ball 36 times – the most since an October loss to the Cleveland Browns, when he threw the ball 38 times. He ran the ball eight times for 76 yards.

He told reporters after the game he got an earful from his mother, Felicia Jones, about not running the ball more in the loss.
“My momma just told me that. She just cussed me out,” he said, via the Ravens’ website. “I’m mad. We’re going to get after it. I’m not going to lie to you, we’re going to get after it. I can’t wait for this bye to get on. We got the Giants coming up, I’m ready to go.

“She said there were lanes I should have taken and ran. I was just trying to let guys develop routes. We had developing routes. I was just trying to go through my progression, but yeah, she [was] right.”
Jackson added he felt like the team left a lot of scoring on the table.
The reigning NFL MVP fell to 23-2 against the NFC as a starter.
“The front just kept at it, that’s it. We didn’t keep a spy on him, we didn’t do anything extra,” Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean said.
