Lamar Jackson just gave fans another reason to love him — and it’s not for his plays on-field this time. The QB has everyone in splits after revealing his game plan for the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans matchup: he’s planning to watch Beyoncé’s halftime performance instead of focusing on the game.
While fans are used to Jackson’s electric moves on the field, this off-the-field decision has them cracking up. Fans are already joking he’s earning an MVP for this unconventional choice.
Lamar Jacksons Halftime Plan: Watch Beyoncé and Win Fans’ Hearts
Jackson has just taken the halftime show to a whole new level — and no, it’s not his usual juking and dodging defenders. The Ravens QB dropped a bombshell during a recent media interview: he’s planning to watch Beyoncé’s halftime performance.
“Imma go out and watch. The first time she’ll actually perform at our game, imma go out and watch. Sorry fellas,” Jackson said, quickly setting X (formerly known as Twitter) on fire.
Fans were quick to react, and the MVP chants started rolling in.
One fan joked, “Give him the MVP now.”

Some took a more heartfelt route, with one fan commenting, “Bless his heart. I do love him. It was a privilege to watch him in Louisville. He’s awesome!”

Jackson’s charm isn’t lost on his supporters, with one fan even suggesting, “There should be a special documentary series for this guy. Lamar Jackson 💜.”
And then there’s the fan who humorously predicted, “Lamar gonna make sure we up by 5 scores by halftime.”
In the end, Jackson just proved that his star power is bigger than football. While fans are fired up about his game-time antics, it’s safe to say they’re also completely here for his Beyoncé fandom. Keep being you, Lamar.
Jackson’s MVP-Level Dominance Earns High Praise From DeMeco Ryans

Ryans added, “He definitely jumps off the tape as the best player I’ve seen this year. Talk about the MVP? He’s definitely the MVP in my mind for what he’s doing. … He’s playing unbelievable ball right now, so he’s going to be a really tough challenge for us this week.”

Jackson’s been nothing short of electric in 2024 — 67.9% completion rate, racking up 3,787 yards, 37 TDs (a career-high), and only four interceptions. His passing numbers outshine his MVP campaigns in 2019 and 2023. And don’t forget the legs — 126 carries for 765 yards and three scores keep defenses scrambling.
Ryans highlighted Jackson’s dual-threat dominance, pointing to his “accuracy, decision-making, and unbelievable ball” this season. It’s no wonder the Ravens are thriving, with Jackson anchoring their offense.
As the Ravens gear up for Christmas Day action, Jackson’s MVP case seems airtight. With jaw-dropping stats and the respect of peers and rivals alike, his 2024 campaign is the gift that keeps on giving.
