Lamar Jackson Should Retire After Pitiful Playoff Performances

Once again, Lamar Jackson finds himself at the center of a playoff disappointment. The Baltimore Ravens’ star quarterback, who has been under scrutiny for his postseason struggles, had another game to forget in the team’s loss to the Buffalo Bills. Turnovers, missed opportunities, and a lack of big plays defined Jackson’s performance and further fueled doubts about his ability to win in January.

Jackson’s three turnovers—two fumbles and an interception—were backbreaking for the Ravens. These mistakes erased any momentum Baltimore managed to generate and gave Buffalo prime opportunities to capitalize. While Jackson’s athleticism and creativity have made him one of the NFL’s most exciting players, his postseason inconsistencies are becoming a troubling pattern.

Beyond the turnovers, Jackson’s inability to finish drives was glaring. Despite throwing for 254 yards, his lack of scoring plays left the Ravens struggling to keep up. In the final moments, he orchestrated a promising drive that ended in disappointment when Mark Andrews dropped a potential game-tying two-point conversion.

For a player often labeled as a generational talent, Jackson’s postseason legacy remains underwhelming. Until he can deliver consistently in the playoffs, questions about his ability to lead a team to a championship will persist. This loss is just another chapter in a story that Jackson will need to rewrite if he wants to solidify his place among the NFL’s elite quarterbacks.
