The Baltimore Ravens are sticking to their goal of getting Lamar Jackson on the field in his rookie year, sometimes stepping in for Joe Flacco, other times coming on as a wide receiver.
In Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Flacco had the Ravens in the red zone and Jackson was wide open in the end zone. But Flacco didn’t even look his way:

People who think Flacco hates the quarterback drafted to someday replace him — well, this might be the evidence you needed to buoy your argument.
Joe Flacco had Lamar Jackson WIDE OPEN for a touchdown and didn’t look his way.

Nice bit of symbolism there from Flacco - not ready to pass the torch to Lamar Jackson so he opted not to pass him a touchdown
