BALTIMORE -- All wants to do is be great.The path to greatne s has involved plenty of individual and team accolades in Jackson's six years in the . Not only has Marcus Stroman Jersey Jackson captured an MVP award (and is on his way toward winning a second one), but the are 58-19 (.753 win percentage) in Jackson's 77 regular season starts since he took over as the starter in Week 11 of the 2018 season -- tied for the best win percentage in the NFL.For all of Jackson's accolades, he still has his doubters. Come January, those cynics got louder.Entering Saturday's divisional round game against the , Jackson was just 1-3 in his three career playoff starts. He completed just 55.9% Amed Rosario Jersey of his pa ses with three touchdowns and five interceptions for a 68.3 rating. Included in those numbers are two 100-yard rushing games (tied for most for a quarterback in playoff history) and a rushing touchdown.Jackson changed the narrative after the 34-10 victory over the Texans, as he became the first player in NFL history to throw for two touchdowns, rush for two touchdowns, rush for 100 yards, and have a 100-plus pa ser rating in a game. You can bet Jackson heard the doubting Thomases before his breakthrough playoff performance. "You know I heard that," Jackson said with a laugh. "I don't even gotta hear it. I see it! But it is what it is. I don't Robert Gsellman Jersey really care about what people say. I'm trying to win day in and day out."Every time I'm on that field, I'm trying to play to the best of my abilities. Those guys just had our team number in the past, but it's a different team. Like I've been saying, we just have to stay locked in on what's ahead of us." Lamar Jackson has heard the one playoff win narrative. I dont even gotta hear it, I see it. It is what it is. I dont even care what people say. Jeff Kerr (@JeffKerrCBS) Jackson finished 16 of 22 for 152 yards with two touchdowns for a 121.8 pa ser rating. He led the Ravens with 100 yards on 11 carries and added two rushing touchdowns on his own. Jackson had four total touchdowns and seven turnovers in his previous four playoff games -- he had four on Saturday Gary Carter Jersey with zero turnovers. What do the skeptics have to say now?"If I'm not mistaken, there are 11 people on our offense, 11 people on our defense, and 11 people on our special teams that play -- not what anyone else has to say," Ravens linebacker said. "They don't put the pads on, so who cares what they have to say?"At the end of the day, it's just an opinion. That's just like a butt, everybody has them. I don't really concern myself with that and neither does anybody in his locker room. That's outside noise at the end of the day."Jackson is far from finished after one monster playoff performance. The Ravens are hosting a conference championship game for the first time, in what is dubbed the biggest game in Pete Alonso Jersey M&T Bank Stadium history. There's unfinished busine s at stake."We have to finish. It's still the playoffs," Jackson said. "We're not in the dance yet, but I'm looking forward to next week, to be honest with you."I'm not even thinking about the until we handle busine s."
