On Monday night, the NFL had one of its best games of the year, with three comebacks in the final 2 minutes to finally bring Baltimore to a 47-42 win at Cleveland. The Ravens kept their Playoff hopes up, but the buzz It was from Lamar Jackson's peculiar cramping situation. Last season's MVP left the game in the second half, with his team leading 34-20. ESPN and the official account of the Ravens on Twitter said it was cramps, but rumors began to appear on social networks of a gastrointestinal problem, especially when a video of Lamar was seen 'walking like a duck' on his way to the locker room.
This is how the NFL Standings go after week 14 There were immediate references to the situation that happened with Paul Pierce in Game 1 of the 2008 NBA Finals, when he left the court in a wheelchair due to an apparent injury, but that the same player denied years later saying that he had done it and that "he really had to go to the bathroom." Lamar came out to contradict that at a press conference after the game ended. "He had cramps. It wasn't a Paul Pierce. He was cramping." And it didn't end there, because Lamar had to defend himself on social media, saying, "They're freaking out. I definitely didn't go get a (poop emoji)" and " Cramps in the calves. Family, believe me, I don't have to lie. "
Whether it was a 'Paul Pierce' or not, Jackson was just in time to score 11 points in the final 120 seconds, including a touchdown pass on his first play back at fourth down after the injury of backup McSorley, and Baltimore is with 8-5 mark, the same as Miami, which currently wins the tiebreaker to be seventh and last in the American Conference Playoffs.
