The latest tweets from @ravens. Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews, Marquise Brown, J.K. Dobbins and Sammy Watkins are meeting this week in Arizona for offseason workouts. The 'Madden' Twitter account hilariously roasted the Ravens for leaking the Lamar Jackson cover news. It was Lamar Jackson who revealed to the world that he was the newest. Lamar Jackson doesn’t want people to read too much into his latest viral tweet. Jackson sent shockwaves around the sports world over the weekend for his Twitter exchange with Donald Trump. Lamar Jackson led a heroic comeback late in the game for the Baltimore Ravens, but for much of the fourth quarter, the quarterback was nowhere to be found. Jackson went into the locker room.
Lamar Jackson said it after the wild Baltimore Ravens win over the Cleveland Browns, but maybe Twitter wasn’t listening.
Jackson told the media the reason he left Monday’s game was he had cramps and needed an IV. He denied he had gastrointestinal issues, saying he didn’t “pull a Paul Pierce” (in case you don’t know what exactly that means, we explained it!).
Amid all the jokes — including one from teammate Robert Griffin III — Jackson decided to say it again for those who hadn’t heard, retweeting one of the many, many jokes made and used an emoji to sum it up, as well as specifics. It was calf cramps:

As the Ravens ran back to the locker room for halftime, we had a very interesting Lamar Jackson stat line to look at. Had you only been looking at the stats and not watching the game, you might think he was having a good game on the ground, and you'd be correct. After all, with 78 yards on seven attempts and a pair of touchdowns to boot, that's a heck of a quarterback stat line on the ground for an entire game, let alone for just one half.
But if you were watching the game, you'd know that for a stretch, it seemed as though Lamar Jackson had temporarily turned into a baby deer trying to find its footing.
'It's gotta be the shoes, right?' Steve Levy joked on the broadcast before the 'Monday Night Football' crew broke down the slick nature of the FirstEnergy Stadium grass when the weather gets cold.
And Twitter, as per usual, wasn't letting the slippery turf monster go unnoticed.

-- Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) December 15, 2020The impressive touchdown was made possible due to an out-of-nowhere 39-yard have to Mark Andrews, which was only the third completion for the Ravens in the entire game, giving Jackson 53 passing yards in the first half.
