Baltimore Ravens star Kyle Hamilton admitted that the team felt disrespected by being 6.5-point underdogs vs. the San Francisco 49ers.
Notably, oddsmakers weren’t the only ones who either overrated the Niners or underrated the Ravens.
NFL analyst Mike Florio had an interesting choice of words ahead of this matchup, stating that there was simply no way that the Ravens could keep up with the Niners, as they were going to be well-rested and at home.
Florio stated that the Niners would ‘kick the [expletive]’ out of the Ravens, adding that the Super Bowl was going to suck if this was, indeed, a Super Bowl preview.
Needless to say, those comments didn’t rub the Ravens well, and Lamar Jackson had plenty to say about that after the win (Via ProFootballTalk).
“He can have his opinion, but don’t just be talkin like that, it’s disrespectful,” Jackson said.
Lamar is right. I apologize for how I phrased my opinion. I believed the 49ers were dramatically better than every other team in the NFL: Cowboys, Eagles, Chiefs, Dolphins, everyone. The Ravens proved otherwise. They deserve complete and total respect for what they accomplished. https://t.co/4ja4gvuWnc

Jackson stated that there was no way he should’ve talked about grown men like that, adding that they also have families and deserve some respect.
He took a shot at Florio by stating that perhaps he just wanted more views for his ‘little channel.’
Truth be told, it was kind of shocking to see such a renowned member of NFL media using those harsh words to talk about this game.
The Ravens hit the ground running from the very beginning.
They were never bothered or fazed by the bright lights, and they made a huge statement by demolishing them in their own stadium.
Now, they’ll have to finish the job to continue silencing the critics during the most crucial stretch of the season.
