The National Football League's (NFL) team Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is not done complaining about the referees. The Ravens recorded their first win of the season on 22nd September, Sunday. They defeated Dallas Cowboys 28-25 and there were some calls in the match which Jackson didn't like at all.
What did Lamar Jackson have to say about this matter?
Dallas was pinned in the endzone and Prescott was about to get sacked in the endzone. He threw the ball that was batted down by an offensive linesman. The flag was then shown for illegal touching as the commentators felt that safety should have been called for.
While talking on social media, Jackson mentioned that if he had thrown the ball at his offensive linesman, then the referees would have called safety on him. "It would’ve been a safety if I did that," Jackson wrote.

Lamar Jackson feels that the referees intentionally make bad calls against him on purpose. Jackson looked pissed at the referees during their clash against Dallas Cowboys. On top of it, during the game, he was heard saying 'Stop cheating us, bro' to one of the referees. Ultimately, the Ravens managed to topple the Cowboys 28-25 on the road.
The team is taking too many penalties: Ravens coach
Following the win over the Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh was critical of his team's tendency to earn penalties. His team made too many penalties and some of them should not have been called according to Harbaugh.
While talking on the team website, Harbaugh said, "The ones that maybe shouldn't be called, we can't do anything about those. But the ones that should be called, we've got to clean those up. And that's on us. It's our responsibility to do it. It's hurting us. I mean, it's costing us points in the end."
"There are some head-scratchers, but there's also some ones that are legit. When you have the number that we have right now, it's too many. That's just something that's got to get cleaned up," Harbaugh concluded.
Baltimore was penalized 13 times for 105 yards in total in their win over the Cowboys. Harbaugh will talk to the league directly about these calls and some potential misses. He wants to have a clear understanding of why these things were called in the first place. Baltimore Ravens will next take on the Buffalo Bills in the Week 4 clash.
