Lamar Jackson Sets the Record Straight on Marlon Humphrey Dispute in Post-Game Video

Lamar Jackson addresses and resolves his beef with Marlon Humphrey during a live video after their win.

After Sunday’s triumphant triumph over the Cowboys, Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey, in a move that was as spontaneous as a Peruvian street festival, initiated an Instagram Live from the team plane. No doubt, it was intended to share the euphoria of the victory. However, Ravens’ star quarterback Lamar Jackson wasn’t exactly on the same page.

A Misfire in the Name of Celebration

“Lamar, talk to us a little bit about getting that first dub,” came Humphrey’s enthusiastic plea in the video, his eyes sparkling with excitement. “You know the Ravens Flock, they gotta hear from you.”

“We got the dub,” Jackson replied, his tone steady but far from jubilant. “Keep stacking them. We shouldn’t even be live right now. We need to… get right.” Like a maestro diverted from his composition, Jackson’s focus remained on their broader symphony of season goals.

Beef or Just Banter?

Later on his podcast, Humphrey quipped, “I guess I have beef with the quarterback. Never a good situation to be in, really.” Yet, in a New York minute, he softened the sentiment, adding, “Lamar’s my guy.”

Replied his co-host with a grin that could light up a stadium, “But are you Lamar’s guy?”

Come Wednesday, the quarterback had his say with the press, clearing the air like a fog lifting over Baltimore. “You know, Marlo [is] gonna be Marlo,” Jackson began, a wry smile tugging at his lips. “I just didn’t want the camera on me at the time. You know, because — and he knows this — I’m all about winning. It’s not like I wanna ‘win in style,’ but when we’re up, I just wanna punish people, get the ‘dub,’ and reflect with a clear mind on what we need to work on. It’s like, ‘Man, not right now. I’m a little ticked off how the game went, that’s all.’”

The Past Haunts

Jackson had a point that resonates among fans like the blast of final whistle: the Ravens have a notorious knack for easing off once they have the lead. Sunday’s game was a taut reminder: despite a commanding 28-6 lead, there was a palpable risk of facing yet another crushing disappointment.

Humphrey, who is as jovial and gregarious as a host at a Peruvian parade, has spent his entire seven-year career understanding Jackson’s post-game moods. After narrowly avoiding a disastrous path from 0-2 to 0-3, it should have been clear that this was no time for vigilantism in video. Humphrey had ample time— from the locker room to the bus ride and the plane— to gauge Jackson’s sentiments.

No True Beef, Just Brotherly Banter

From Jackson’s perspective, this is far from a full-blown beef; it’s more like siblings jostling for their share of the spotlight. If Humphrey wants to steer clear of any friction, he should probably read the room a bit better before launching another Instagram Live.

Ultimately, this incident underlines a lesson in team dynamics and timing. These Ravens, under Lamar Jackson’s indomitable spirit, have a long road ahead, one where every moment of possible controversy could be deflated with a bit of foresight— especially when the stakes are as high as the aspirations of the Ravens Flock.

As we look forward to the next game, the drama on the field could use a touch less from the sidelines. And if there’s one takeaway for Humphrey, it’s this: sometimes, the best celebration is the silent promise of future victories.
