The unstoppable Lamar Jackson has made Christmas Day memorable for the Baltimore Ravens with another impressive performance, bolstering their playoff chances (11-5) at NRG Stadium on Wednesday night. Lamar finished the Texans game with 168 yards and three combined touchdowns, helping the Ravens secure a 31-2 win.

His decent outing, when the MVP odds heavily favor Josh Allen (-500), has impressed many, including Lamar’s former teammate Odell Beckham Jr.
OBJ was all praise, as he tweeted, “Words don’t do justice for seeing what Lamar Jackson does in person.”
In response to OBJ’s tweet, Ravens fans flooded the comments section, urging him to “come back” to the Ravens next year and help Lamar accomplish his Super Bowl mission.
We have unfinished business with you…let’s get our get back.

OBJ’s stats in Miami are far from impressive this year, as he didn’t start a single game there before getting cut. He recorded nine receptions for 55 yards and zero touchdowns, averaging just 6.1 yards per game. This places him below 150th in rankings, highlighting his struggles now more than ever.
In contrast, during the 2023 season in Baltimore, Beckham showed splashes of brilliance, recording 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games. Considering that he sat out the entire 2022 season due to injury, it was a solid comeback.
Perhaps, in Baltimore, Beckham can get the fresh start he deserves in 2025; fans sure want that to happen.
