Lamar Jackson couldn't contain his frustration with himself while speaking to reporters after the Ravens lost 27-25 to the Bills and were eliminated from the playoffs.
The Ravens missed out on continuing their season due to a failed two-point conversion by tight end Mark Andrews and some costly turnovers that really frustrated Jackson on Sunday.
The Ravens quarterback fumbled in the second quarter of an AFC Divisional Round game at Highmark Stadium, but Von Miller recovered the ball and ran it back to the Baltimore 24-yard line for a touchdown. We broke a 7-7 tie.

Jackson also made an interception in the first quarter, tying the game.
The second fumble occurred in the fourth quarter, when Andrews had the ball knocked out of his hands after a 16-yard catch, nearly sending the Ravens into Buffalo's territory.
“Every time you're in a situation like this, turnovers come into play. Penalties are a big factor,” Jackson said of the need to maintain possession. “Tonight we had turnovers and we didn't do that and that's why we lost the game. As you can see, we're moving the ball great. [just] Grab your king ball. Sorry for my language, but it's not annoying. I'm tired of this. ”
Jackson's frustration was certainly evident as he watched his star quarterback finish another season without winning a title.
The Ravens have made the playoffs in six of Jackson's seven seasons with the team, but have only made it past the divisional round once during that span (last season, they lost to the Chiefs in the conference title game). ) only.
Jackson completed 18 passes for 254 yards, two touchdowns and one interception on Sunday.
The Ravens QB rushed for an additional 39 yards in the loss to the Bills.
Jackson also commented that he doesn't put all the blame for Andrews' tough day on the star tight end.
“We're a team,” Jackson said. “…It's not his fault. We're not going to hold it against Mark.”
