"Homie is never winning a ring": NFL fans react as Lamar Jackson jokes after learning about his alarming sack total

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson made a joke after learning about his sack total this season. While addressing the media on Thursday, the quarterback got to learn that he was sacked the same amount of time in seven games this year as he was the entire 2024 season.

Jackson responded to the statistic with a joke that he would confront his offensive line about this situation.

"Goddman," Jackson said. "I've got to talk to the offensive line about that now. I'mma holla at my guys about that man. ... Talk to my guys about that. They probably ain't going to like that though. Like you guys telling me its 23 sacks, they probably ain't going to like that."

Fans on social media shared their thoughts on Lamar Jackson's reaction to his sack count this season.

"Homie is never winning a ring," one fan commented "I mean let's be real. The Ravens have never actually prioritized putting an 'elite' OL in front of him. Their strategy has been that it just needs to be decent 'Since we have Lamar' and it's catching up to them. Now he's playing hurt and his running can't bail them out," another fan said. "Gotta keep the jersey clean!" this fan wrote. "Lamar 'jokes' sound a lot like a masked man about to have a very pointed chat with the guys who let him get sacked 23 times already. The balaclava isn't just for warmth, apparently," another fan said. "He really is out there like he's in a comedy show or something but like whoa chill with the sacks for real," one fan wrote. "I mean it is a convo he gotta have tbh," this fan commented.

Lamar Jackson has played in seven games this season. He missed out on three games because of a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Ravens quarterback is the eighth most sacked quarterback this season, with 23 sacks to his name.

Lamar Jackson opens up about dealing with multiple injury concerns this season

Lamar Jackson missed Wednesday's practice because of an ankle injury. This was the second straight week that he missed training because of an injury. However, the quarterback returned on Thursday as a full participant in practice.

While speaking with the press, Jackson shared his honest thoughts on his injury situation.

"It's just part of football, I guess," Jackson said as per the team's website. "This is my first time dealing with something like this, while I'm playing, at that. We have great trainers and stuff like that. Our staff is good. So, like I said, I'm good."
