Jacksonville Jaguars All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey has never been one to back down for a challenge nor does he ever shy away from expressing his opinions and emotions on and off the field. Sunday's loss to the Steelers was a tough pill to swallow for the Jaguars and Ramsey did not take the loss well at all, per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.
“I've been pretty pissed off,” Ramsey said after Sunday's 20-16 loss to Pittsburgh at TIAA Bank Field, which was sealed on Ben Roethlisberger's 1-yard touchdown run with five seconds to play. “I'm not going to lie to you. I have. S—, man, I've been battling with my emotions, trying to hold them in.”
Ramsey was critical of quarterbacks across the league, so this is may be why he has the spotlight on him at all times. Even if Ramsey isn't the only emotional player on the team his antics and knack for being opinionated surely bring him the attention he might not need or want.
The Jaguars lead for the entire game up until the bitter end when Ben Roethlisberger took matters into his own hands and stretched out to put the Steelers ahead of the Jags and ultimately get the win. The Steelers overcame a 16-point deficit and Ramsey had a great game, bottling up the receivers he was assigned to. Antonio Brown had 39 yards on four catches when Ramsey was covering him. Ramsey had two interceptions and both were passes intended for Antonio Brown.
The Jags are now 3-7 after being heavy favorites to make a Super Bowl run prior to the season. Things have not worked out for the Jags at all after a decent start to the season and an impressive victory over the New England Patriots. The Jags are last in the AFC South in a division they were almost certain to win.
