Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was ruled out for the fourth quarter after suffering a concussion in Saturday’s AFC division game in Buffalo.
In the final play of the third quarter, Jackson’s head bounced back and hit the turf in the final area of Bills Stadium after throwing the ball and receiving a blow from Bills defensive end Trent Murphy. Jackson immediately grabbed the helmet with both hands after touching the ground. He then raised his frustrated hands as he headed to the locker room with a coach.
Jackson was singled out for an intentional base in the play.
Tyler Huntley, the unrecruited rookie, replaced him with the Ravens 17-3. The other Ravens quarterbacks (Robert Griffin III and Trace McSorley) are currently on the injured reserve.
His injury came two plays after Jackson threw just the second pick-six of his career. After driving up the Buffalo 9-yard line, Jackson noticed Mark Andrews and was picked in the red zone for the first time.
Taron Johnson overtook Jackson and returned the interception 101 yards for the touchdown. Instead of potentially tying the game, the Ravens fell behind by two touchdowns.
Jackson finished 14 of 24 to pass 162 yards and hit just 34 yards by throwing himself at nine gates. It’s his third fastest field since taking over as Baltimore starter in the mid-2018 season.
