When Lamar Jackson put the Baltimore Ravens up for good with a little over three minutes left against the Kansas City Chiefs, he did so emphatically by front flipping into the end zone.

It made some fans cringe hoping that there was no injury sustained for the superstar QB1 for the Ravens.
On Wednesday, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN, Jackson addressed the celebration.
“I’m kind of sore. I didn’t want to tell Coach because Coach would've probably said something to me about flipping next time. I don’t know. I’d probably do it again though. It was pretty cool.”
Imagining other quarterbacks even attempting this celebration is hilarious and proves how crazy athletic Jackson is. Picture Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers giving it a go with the front flip celebration. While other fans found it to be incredible, there were likely many Ravens fans who gasped when they saw it. That same group is likely not thrilled hearing Jackson say he'll probably do it again.
The win over the Chiefs was huge for the Ravens after their Week 1 meltdown against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football. Baltimore responded with a huge 36-35 victory over Kansas City who entered the game as 3.5 point favorites as the road team.
It'll be fascinating to see what Jackson has up his sleeve next but the celebration game is top tier, as long as he doesn't get hurt doing it.
