BALTIMORE — Lamar Jackson is one of the top quarterbacks in the game and on Sunday during the Ravens’ AFC championship game against Kansas City, he showed he’s a pretty good receiver, too. He caught a pass for a 13-yard gain … from himself.
Facing a second and five from the Baltimore 17, Jackson dropped back to pass and let it go, but the ball was tipped by former Texans’ safety Justin Reid at the line and went up in the air. Jackson saw what was happening and ran and caught the tipped ball himself and scampered for a first down. He may have gone for much more had it not been for a shoestring tackle.
Tony Romo, who was calling the game for CBS along with Jim Nantz, was clearly impressed.
"That’s one of the greatest plays I’ve ever seen,” Romo said.
Romo went on to say that the ball is intercepted 100% of the time. The Ravens lost the game at home to Kansas City, 17-10.
It's a play that had social media buzzing.
The Texans' CJ Stroud has also thrown a pass to himself. In fact, it was his first NFL completion and came against Jackson's Ravens. It was the first game of the season and here's how it went.
