Bills' Josh Allen Sends Heartfelt Message to Lamar Jackson After Injury
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen wished Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson the best after a fluke injury on Sunday.
Lamar Jackson made his first appearance since suffering a high-ankle sprain during Baltimore Ravens' victory against the Tennessee Titans on October 4th. However, his comeback was cut short when he injured his thumb on the first offensive play of the game. The injury might lead to Jackson being placed on injured reserve which could potentially end his season.
The Buffalo Bills' quarterback, Josh Allen, expressed his support for Jackson, who has been a fierce competitor with the Bills in recent seasons for the NFL's Most Valuable Player award. Allen conveyed his hopes for Jackson's well-being via a video released by NFL on CBS.
Ravens' backup quarterback Tyler Huntley had to step up after the injury, but the team had to resort to an emergency third option, Joe Fagnano, who finished the game with 10 of 21 passing for 91 yards and one interception. The preseason had Baltimore and Buffalo as the two AFC favorites to reach the Super Bowl. However, the loss has put Baltimore's playoff chances in jeopardy.
In the aftermath, Ravens' head coach Jesse Minter encouraged the team to remain united and believe in the next man up mentality, stating that they would do everything possible to stay competitive. The next match for the Ravens is scheduled against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9 of the NFL season.
