Lamar Jackson Deletes Vulgar Tweet Aimed at Fan After Jaguars Loss

Lamar Jackson is facing backlash Sunday night after tweeting a vulgar message in response to a fan following the Ravens’ 28–27 road loss to the Jaguars.

The exchange occurred after a Twitter user took aim at Jackson’s performance and his ongoing contract situation in the aftermath of Sunday’s game. The star quarterback, who remains in search of a new deal 12 weeks into the season, struggled to find the end zone throughout a game that Baltimore almost won via a 67-yard Justin Tucker field goal attempt that missed in the closing seconds.

The Twitter user suggested the Ravens should move on from the former MVP after he was unable to lead the team to a win against Jacksonville, and included both Jackson and Tucker’s Twitter handles in a tweet that read: “When someone is asking for over 250 mil guaranteed like @Lj_era8 … games like this should not come to @jtuck9. Let Lamar walk and spend that money on a well rounded team.”
