Maybe not, but Jackson is quite the exception to make.\u00a0What actually happens during halftime has always been a mystery that we&#8217;ve only heard bits and pieces about. It&#8217;s certainly not long enough for coaches to make wholesale changes to the game plan. Mostly it&#8217;s a chance for players to take a breather and maybe a bathroom break.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how the game is going after two quarters, Jackson probably won&#8217;t need a pep talk from anyone to play better. They have a chance to repeat as AFC North champions because of the season he&#8217;s having. 37 passing touchdowns and a 67.9% completion percentage are already new franchise records he broke again.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s going to matter the most is how the Ravens finish Wednesday&#8217;s game. Jackson will hopefully be fired up after listening to some Cowboy Carter.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-embed-card--list\">\n<div class=\"m-card--media\"><a class=\"m-card--image-link\" tabindex=\"-1\" href=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/nfl\/baltimore-ravens-news\/diontae-johnson-revenge-against-the-ravens-waiver-claim-afc-rival\/\" rel=\"\"><picture class=\"is-loaded\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/.image\/ar_16:9%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_220\/MjExNjA5ODY1MjI5OTY4OTMx\/usatsi_24785343.webp 220w, https:\/\/atozsports.com\/.image\/ar_16:9%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_320\/MjExNjA5ODY1MjI5OTY4OTMx\/usatsi_24785343.webp 320w, https:\/\/atozsports.com\/.image\/ar_16:9%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_640\/MjExNjA5ODY1MjI5OTY4OTMx\/usatsi_24785343.webp 640w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"220px\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/.image\/ar_16:9%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_220\/MjExNjA5ODY1MjI5OTY4OTMx\/usatsi_24785343.jpg 220w, https:\/\/atozsports.com\/.image\/ar_16:9%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_320\/MjExNjA5ODY1MjI5OTY4OTMx\/usatsi_24785343.jpg 320w, https:\/\/atozsports.com\/.image\/ar_16:9%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_640\/MjExNjA5ODY1MjI5OTY4OTMx\/usatsi_24785343.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"220px\" \/><\/picture><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baltimore Ravens News Coming off another shortened week, the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0will be on the road tomorrow to play the late window Christmas Day game against the\u00a0Houston Texans\u00a0on Netflix&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14170,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot-news","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Lamar Jackson apologizes in advance to John Harbaugh for his plans during Ravens&#039;
