BREAKING: Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens expressed frustration, claiming that the Buffalo Bills’ cheerleaders wore provocative outfits that distracted his teammates and prevented them from playing with full focus. 
In a headline so baffling it could only come from the world of professional sports, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has pinpointed the source of his team’s recent lackluster performance: the Buffalo Bills cheerleaders. Yes, you read that right.
Jackson reportedly expressed frustration after Sunday’s game, claiming that the cheerleaders’ “provocative outfits” were so distracting that they threw his teammates off their game. According to the star quarterback, it wasn’t the Bills’ defense, Josh Allen’s stellar plays, or even the biting January cold that led to the Ravens’ struggles—it was pom-poms and short skirts.
“We were trying to focus, but, man, those outfits,” Jackson allegedly told reporters during a post-game interview. “How can we be expected to perform when distractions like that are happening on the sidelines?”
The cheerleaders, who were simply doing their jobs (and doing them well, by the way), have yet to comment on their supposed role in sabotaging Baltimore’s game plan. Meanwhile, the Bills organization has responded with a mix of confusion and bemusement.
“We appreciate Lamar’s acknowledgment of the energy our cheerleading squad brings to the field,” said a Bills spokesperson. “Although we’re fairly certain they weren’t responsible for that pick-six in the third quarter.”
Social media, predictably, exploded with reactions. One fan tweeted, “Ah yes, the ancient football curse of cheerleader-induced turnovers strikes again.” Another quipped, “Maybe Lamar should ask the Ravens’ defense to wear blindfolds next time?”
While Jackson’s claim is undoubtedly creative, it raises questions about focus and accountability. It also marks a new low in the ever-growing list of bizarre excuses for poor sports performance.
In the meantime, fans eagerly await the Ravens’ next press conference, where perhaps we’ll hear how seagulls or halftime hot dog vendors are to blame for their next loss. Stay tuned.
