The Baltimore Ravens' playoff hopes were dealt a severe blow on Sunday Night Football as star quarterback Lamar Jackson was forced out of the crucial contest against the New England Patriots with a back injury.
Jackson Forced to Locker Room After Injury Scare
The pivotal moment came when Lamar Jackson, the former MVP and the heart of the Ravens' offence, was seen being attended to by medical staff on the sideline. He was visibly struggling with a back issue before eventually heading to the locker room for further assessment. The team subsequently listed him as questionable to return to the game, casting a huge shadow over their chances.
Huntley Steps In With Season on the Line
With Jackson's status uncertain, backup quarterback Tyler Huntley was called into action to deputise. Huntley now faces the immense pressure of steering the Ravens' offence in a must-win situation. The stakes could not be higher: a loss against the Patriots would officially eliminate the Baltimore Ravens from the NFL playoff picture.
