Lamar Jackson will do everything possible to secure an 11-win season on Wednesday whenever he takes the field against the Houston Texans.
When it’s halftime, nobody better ask him to do anything. The two-time MVP already has plans.
With the Christmas game being on Netflix, everyone is going all out to ensure eyes aren’t kids opening toys but their television screens watching the game. Down in Houston, fans might be more excited to watch Beyoncé perform at the halftime show than the actual game,

Jackson wants to win. What quarterback doesn’t? Still, he has priorities when Queen B takes the stage as both teams head into the locker room.
“I’m going to go out there and watch,” Jackson told reporters on Monday. “First time seeing Beyoncé perform, and it’s at our game – that’s dope. I’m going to go out and watch. Sorry [head coach John] Harbaugh, sorry. Sorry, fellas.”
What’s the one song Jackson hopes to hear while the 32-time Grammy Award winner hits the field? His favorite is “Irreplaceable,” kind of like the feeling of beating one of the best teams in the AFC this holiday season.

The Texans could secure a 10-win season and end Jackson’s chances of winning a third MVP with a strong outing in the home finale. Fresh off a 27-19 loss at Kansas City, Houston hopes to bring a bit more job to its fans this holiday season.
Ending Jackson’s reign of terror before the holidays would probably sour his experience in the city Beyoncé once called home.
Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
