“It’s My Turn to Screw Up”
Well, I’ll tell you. Nearly everyone had at least one moment of weakness.
Lamar was overshooting a wide-open Demarcus Robinson on the first drive of the game. But I guess Robinson wanted to make Lamar feel better, so he made a mistake of his own by dropping a pass in the back of the end zone later in the first quarter.
He wasn’t the only pass catcher to goof up. Mark Andrews had arguably the worst drop of his career, letting an uncontested lollipop from Jackson bounce off his outstretched hands in the end zone.
It became glaringly obvious that something was wrong with the pass catchers when Devin Duvernay dropped his first pass since 2020. Even Gus Edwards, one of the most consistent players on the team, had a costly fumble that handed Jacksonville points on a silver platter.
Everyone made a mistake except, of course, for Desean Jackson. His 63-yard catch on 2nd and 20 to set up the Ravens’ go-ahead score in the fourth quarter should be playing on repeat on every highlight show today.
Instead, the 35-year-old receiver’s catch will slip into the shapeless void to rot with the rest of the forgotten NFL plays that were upstaged by even better one in the same game. The play I’m referring to is, of course, Marvin Jones’ game-winning touchdown catch over Marcus Peters. I’m still not convinced Jones’ calf touched down inbounds, but there was nothing definitive in replay to overturn the call on the field. Either way, we deserved to lose.
