Lamar Jackson doesn't care about your fantasy team or NFL bets

Lamar Jackson didn’t rack up big stats in the Baltimore Ravens’ London game against the Tennessee Titans. His 223 passing yards were merely OK and came with only a single touchdown through the air. His 62 rushing yards were the second most of his 2023 season to date but still paled in comparison to his 2019-2022 averages.

But Jackson doesn’t care about those numbers from the United Kingdom. All he cares about are 24 and 16; the final score in an eight-point win that pushed his team to the top of the AFC North. And while that may have come at the expense of fantasy teams and prop bettors across the globe, he wants everyone disappointed in him to know one thing.

He does not care.

Yep, Jackson hears your complaints after capping a win (and easily hitting his rushing yard prop bet total) with relatively modest totals. They mean nothing to him as long as Baltimore finishes the game with more points than his opponents. That’s what happened Sunday, and now his Ravens are back on track for a playoff berth this winter.
