Lamar Jackson reacted angrily to the Ravens' turnovers in their loss to the Bills on Sunday night while holding a foul-mouthed postgame press conference.
Jackson threw an interception and lost a fumble in the divisional round loss, while Mark Andrews also committed a costly fumble in the fourth quarter. The Bills did not commit a turnover in the 27-25 victory.
And speaking after the loss, Jackson harshly criticized his own mistakes in the game.
“As I've been saying all season, every time we're in situations like this, turnovers are a factor,” Jackson told reporters. 'Sanctions influence. There were turnovers tonight. We can't have that shit. And that's why we lost the game.”
“As you can see, we're moving the ball beautifully,” he continued. 'He just grabs the damn ball. Sorry for my language, but this is annoying. “I'm tired of this shit.”
Jackson also criticized his own interception in the first quarter as a 'BS' play, while shielding Andrews from criticism for his fumble and a costly drop on a late two-point conversion that would have tied the game at 27.

Jackson's interception by Buffalo's Taylor Rapp did not lead to a Bills score, as Baltimore's defense held their opponents on the ensuing drive and forced them to punt.
However, his fumble in the second quarter proved to be crucial, as Von Miller scooped up the ball and returned it 39 yards to the Baltimore 24-yard line.
Josh Allen then found the end zone on a one-yard touchdown run four plays later to give the hosts a 14-7 lead.

The Ravens trailed 24-19, but Buffalo added a field goal after their third snap of the game.
