Lamar Jackson is a two-time MVP and one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, but until he wins in the playoffs and avoids late-game collapses, he’ll continue to receive criticism. Baltimore is 0-2 on the season, and while it’s not all Lamar Jackson, one future Hall of Famer and recently retired All-Pro center believes Jackson has to be better late in games.

While discussing the Ravens star on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown, former Eagles legend Jason Kelce praised Jackson but said the Ravens quarterback has to be “more disciplined” late in games.

“The best quarterbacks, the reason they’re getting paid that money is because they answer it down the stretch.”

The Ravens have lost four times after leading by double digits in the fourth quarter since 2022, according to ESPN Research. That ties the Chicago Bears for the most in the NFL in that span.

After signing a five-year, $260 million contract extension, the onus falls on the quarterback late in games, and he’ll receive the bulk of the blame when things go wrong.
