Lamar Jackson was disappointed with his own turnover issues on Sunday night.

Jackson discussed his frustrations with a lack of ball security when speaking to reporters following a 27-25 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs.

"Just hold onto the f--king ball," Jackson said. "I'm sorry for my language, but this s--t is annoying. I'm tired of this s--t."

Jackson revealed that he knew what coverage the Bills were in during the play he was picked off, but didn't look off the safety and called it a "BS interception" (via Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic).

"l protect the ball and we're not having these conversations," he added, per Zrebiec.

He also rushed for 39 yards on six attempts, losing a fumble in the second quarter.

LAMAR FUMBLE 🤯<br><br>SECOND TURNOVER OF THE GAME FOR JACKSON.<br><br>(via <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NFL</a>)<a href="https://t.co/7Ni5gxBia5">pic.twitter.com/7Ni5gxBia5</a>

Jackson has already established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, with four Pro Bowl nods and two MVP awards under his belt. He continued to perform at a high level throughout his 2024 campaign, throwing for 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns compared to four interceptions.

He also rushed for 915 yards and four more scores.

The playoffs have given Jackson trouble, as he now owns a 3-5 record in eight postseason starts. He's also scored just 13 touchdowns while committing 11 turnovers throughout his playoff career.

After making the AFC Championship Game during their 2023 season, Jackson and the Ravens were eliminated in the divisional round for the third time since he was drafted by the team in 2018.
