It’s tough to grasp just how demoralizing Sunday’s AFC divisional round loss had to be for Lamar Jackson. With a chance to tie the game, an otherwise perfectly executed two-point conversion try was dropped, forcing Jackson and the Ravens to wait another year for a chance at the Super Bowl.
Yet, that didn’t stop Jackson from encouraging Josh Allen.
Following the game, Allen and Jackson both met at midfield and exchanged words in a classy show of sportsmanship. Allen told the CBS broadcast that he considered Jackson has one of the best players ever. And in mic’d-up footage from NFL Films, we were able to hear what Jackson told Allen.

“Go get some, man! Get some,” Jackson said to end the conversation.
You love to see that. Even in a difficult loss, that’s what respect is all about.
