Damian Lillard had thoroughly enjoyed the Ravens victory

With 1:20 remaining, the Ravens got to 4th-and-1 from their own 43 after Lamar Jackson’s touchdown flip and a Clyde Edwards-Helaire fumble gave them the ball back. If they were stopped, Mahomes had plenty of time to get the ball back and get within field goal range. If they punted, Mahomes would get the ball, presumably pretty far away.

This was a crucial decision to make and the Ravens head coach asked his star quarterback Lamar Jackson if he wanted to take the risk of letting Mahomes get the ball. Their conversation was recorded and went viral on social media. Reacting to this, Damian Lillard tweeted, “Harbaugh literally said “Lamar! You wanna go for this?” Lol
