Lamar Jackson following his 2-4 playoff loss:”I’m not frustrated, I’m angry’ .

Baltimore, Maryland (AP) – The Baltimore Ravens, who were one win away from a trip to the Super Bowl, did not resemble the club that led the NFL in regular season standings at the end before crushing Houston in the postseason.

Even worse, Lamar Jackson was nothing like the quarterback who skillfully navigated the season, performing like the clear winner.

“We mad. We were one win away from the Super Bowl, what I’ve been talking about all season, my team has been talking about all season,” Jackson said after Sunday’s 17-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. “We fell short. The offense, we didn’t put nothing on the board. We scored once. That’s not like us. I’m not frustrated, I’m angry because I know how hard we worked to get here.”

Jackson went 20 for 37 for 272 yards, but made few big plays beyond two throws to rookie Zay Flowers for 30 and 54 yards. He was sacked four times, lost a fumble and threw an interception.

“You can’t turn the ball over. It’s tough like that,” Jackson said. “Defense did a wonderful job, held a great offense to 17 points. We got only one touchdown. That’s not like us. No excuses.”

Jackson’s career record in the postseason fell to 2-4. While he muffled some of the talk about his shortcomings in the playoffs during a 34-10 rout of Houston, the multifaceted star remains in search of his first Super Bowl appearance.

“I told him to stand up tall,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “He’s had a great season. His performance today was all heart and he fought. He gave everything he had, so it’s nothing I would be disappointed with.”

The Chiefs kept the ball for fifteen more minutes than Baltimore, were only penalized three times, and did not turn the ball over. To prolong drives and keep the ball away from the Ravens, Kansas City converted eight of its eighteen third-down attempts.

Smith, who finished with 16 tackles, said, “It’s definitely very frustrating, having them in a position you want them in and not being able to capitalize on that as a defense.” “Congratulations to those guys for finishing the job.”

Asked what he’ll remember about this team, Jackson said, “How hard we fought. We were facing adversity all season. Nobody thought we was going to be in this position. New system, new guys, whole new team. People didn’t think we was going to be in this position but we was. Next time, we’ve just got to finish, man.
