After the Baltimore Ravens' 28-14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Wild Card Round, quarterback Lamar Jackson reported that his back is in good condition. He sustained a minor injury during the game when he was kneed in the back but indicated it didn't affect his performance. Jackson, who wore a heat pack on the sidelines to alleviate discomfort, reassured fans that there's nothing to worry about.
Despite dealing with injuries throughout the season, Jackson has proven to be resilient, having not missed any games since sitting out the final match of the regular season. He faced knee and back issues earlier in the season but maintained impressive performance statistics, completing 66.7% of passes for 4,172 yards and leading the league with a quarterback rating of 119.6. His ability to play through pain has been critical for the Ravens, who have historically struggled during his absences.
