Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson opened up about a conversation he had with his mother, Felicia Jones, after the team's 38-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the playoffs. Jackson told reporters that his mother was not happy with his performance, particularly his reluctance to run the ball.

Jackson admitted that his mother was right. "She's a big critic of mine," he said. "She always wants me to be the best that I can be."

Jackson has been one of the most dangerous running quarterbacks in the NFL since entering the league in 2018. However, he has struggled to run the ball effectively in recent weeks. Against the Eagles, he carried the ball just four times for 13 yards.

The Ravens' offense has struggled mightily in Jackson's absence. In the three games that Jackson has missed this season, the Ravens have averaged just 15.3 points per game. They have also failed to score a touchdown in two of those games.

Jackson is entering the final year of his rookie contract. The Ravens are expected to offer him a lucrative extension, but it is unclear if he will sign it. Jackson has said that he wants to be paid like a top quarterback, but the Ravens may not be willing to give him the contract that he wants.

Jackson's comments about his mother's criticism are a reminder that even the best players in the NFL are not immune to criticism. Jackson's mother is clearly a strong supporter of his career, and she wants him to be the best that he can be.

It remains to be seen how Jackson will respond to his mother's criticism. However, it is clear that she is not afraid to hold him accountable.
