Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson blames the loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game on his legs being worn out from a long season.

Jackson said after a summer workout that his legs were fresh after the offseason. If he had felt that way at the end of the postseason, the Ravens would have beaten the Chiefs because his running ability would have been too much for their defense.

“How I feel now,” he told the Washington Post“I wish I felt that way physically in the AFC Championship. We would have won the match. I could have moved for my boys. With me just being sore and not being able to move, I know if my legs were good, we would have won that s—. We wouldn’t have even had to throw the ball. F— “throw the ball.”

Jackson said he wants to do everything he can to get to the level the Chiefs have been the last two years, which is to win the Lombardi Trophy at the end.

“I want to feel it,” he says. “I want the ultimate reward for what I’ve worked so hard for my whole life.”

Tonight, Jackson gets another chance against the Chiefs as he begins a new mission to get there. A win tonight would be great, but the championship isn’t for another five months, and Jackson’s legs may be fresher tonight than they were in a potential playoff rematch with the Chiefs.
