Lamar Jackson is one of the most exciting and dynamic quarterbacks in the NFL. He can make plays with his arm and his legs, and he has led the Baltimore Ravens to a 9-2 record this season. However, he is also a team player who cares about his teammates and the game. That’s why he was not impressed by one of his rookie wide receiver’s touchdown celebrations in the Ravens’ 20-10 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night.
Zay Flowers’ first touchdown
Zay Flowers is a fourth-round draft pick out of Boston College who has shown flashes of potential in his first season with the Ravens. He became the first rookie in Ravens history to catch and run for a touchdown in the same game against the Chargers. His first touchdown came in the first quarter, when Jackson scrambled to his right and found Flowers open in the end zone for a 13-yard score. Flowers then proceeded to do a dance that involved spinning around and pointing at the sky, which Jackson did not appreciate.
Lamar Jackson’s reaction
Jackson was caught on camera shaking his head and mouthing “no” as he watched Flowers’ celebration from the sideline. He later explained that he did not like the dance because it was too flashy and disrespectful to the opponent. He said that he wanted Flowers to act like he had been there before and just hand the ball to the referee. Jackson also said that he talked to Flowers after the play and told him to tone it down. He said that he was happy for Flowers, but he also wanted him to be humble and respectful.
Zay Flowers’ second touchdown
Flowers apparently listened to Jackson’s advice, because his second touchdown celebration was much more subdued. He scored on a 37-yard reverse in the third quarter, which gave the Ravens a 17-3 lead. This time, he simply tossed the ball to the ground and jogged back to the sideline. He also hugged Jackson and thanked him for the opportunity. Jackson said that he was proud of Flowers for his performance and his maturity. He said that Flowers is a great player and a great teammate who is learning and growing every day.
Lamar wasn’t rocking with Zay Flowers’ celebration
Jackson did not care about Flowers’ happy dance after his touchdown, and people watching on TV thought it was funny. The new player will have to do more to make his quarterback happy next time he scores.
This shows that the team is friendly with each other. It is okay for teammates to tease each other, especially after a touchdown. And it made a very funny video on NBC.
Finaln Thought
Lamar Jackson and Zay Flowers are two young stars who have a bright future with the Ravens. They have a good chemistry on the field and a good relationship off the field. However, they also have different personalities and styles when it comes to celebrating touchdowns. Jackson is more reserved and respectful, while Flowers is more expressive and exuberant. Jackson was not a fan of Flowers’ first touchdown dance, but he was supportive of his second touchdown gesture. They both learned from each other and showed their mutual respect and admiration.
