Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner defended Lamar Jackson after Jackson fell to 0-2 in his postseason career with the Ravens’ 28-12 divisional round loss to the Tennessee Titans Jan. 11, but he did cast doubt as to whether free-agent receivers would want to play in the Ravens’ run-heavy offense.
Against the Titans, Jackson threw two interceptions, lost a fumble and failed to convert on two critical fourth-and-1 chances. Jackson threw for 365 yards and ran for 143 yards, but a sizeable chunk of that came while the Ravens were down multiple scores in the second half and abandoned their typical offense to try to get back into the game.
Jackson also struggled in the Ravens’ wild-card loss to the Los Angeles Chargers last January, when Baltimore was stuck in neutral for three quarters. Warner, now an analyst for NFL Network, came to Jackson’s defense on Twitter after the loss to the Titans and explained on Glenn Clark Radio Jan. 16 why he did so.
