Ravens' Lamar Jackson on noise over playoff failures before win vs. Texans: 'You know I heard that'

Lamar Jackson is 1-3 in the playoffs no more.

Baltimore's MVP front-runner was electric in the Ravens' 34-10 Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans, scoring four combined touchdowns with 152 yards through the air and 100 on the ground to banish the narrative of his playoff failures.

"You know I heard that," Jackson said postgame about the noise regarding his one career playoff win. "I've seen it, I don't even got to hear it. I see it. But it is what it is. I don't really care about what people say. I'm trying to win. Day in, day out, every time I'm on that field, I'm trying to play to the best of my ability. Those guys just had our team's number in the past, but it's a different team."

Houston initially hung around to force a 10-10 score at halftime. Jackson faced blitz after blitz in the first half from an uncharacteristically aggressive DeMeco Ryans defense and took three sacks to end the second quarter with 23 net passing yards, which might presumably rattle him given his failures of yore.

Instead, he refused to be denied in the second half. Jackson matched his defense's shutout efforts over the final two quarters by scoring on four straight drives, including possessions of 53, 93 and 78 yards.

He accounted for scores on each Baltimore trip to the end zone, and by hitting the century mark in both passing and rushing yards, he became the first player in NFL history with two-plus passing touchdowns, two-plus rushing TDs, 100-plus yards on the ground, 100-plus yards through the air and a 100-plus passer rating, per NFL Research.

"I thought Lamar was gonna play great, but he's played great all year," Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told reporters. "Just now, it's more important than ever. He's been locked in from Day 1.
