As the Baltimore Ravens prepare for a frigid Divisional Round showdown against the Buffalo Bills, quarterback Lamar Jackson has revealed he won’t be wearing gloves despite the icy 20-degree forecast in Buffalo on Sunday. When asked about his plans for handling the cold, Jackson dismissed the idea with a laugh and a jab at Detroit Lions backup QB Teddy Bridgewater.
“Naaaaahhhh,” Jackson scoffed when asked if he’d wear gloves. “I tried it in practice. I was horrible. I’ll leave that to Teddy Two Gloves.”
The lighthearted response underscores Jackson’s confidence in his ability to adapt to the conditions without altering his usual approach. While some players prefer gloves for added grip in cold weather, Jackson’s preference for bare hands reflects his comfort and familiarity with his typical setup.
Sunday’s game is being billed as a Super Bowl-worthy showdown, featuring:
With a trip to the AFC Championship on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Jackson has followed up last year’s MVP-winning campaign with another sensational season:
The arrival of Derrick Henry has allowed Jackson to focus more on attacking downfield through the air, making Baltimore’s offense even more dangerous.
While the cold conditions in Buffalo will be a factor, Jackson’s decision to stick to his usual approach reflects the confidence he and the Ravens have heading into this critical matchup. With gloves or without, Jackson will be looking to lead Baltimore one step closer to the Super Bowl.
What do you think, Ravens fans? Will the cold play a role in Sunday’s game, or will Jackson’s bare-handed approach pay off? Let us know in the comments!
