Lamar Jackson gets memes for wide-open miss in final seconds of loss to Chiefs

Lamar Jackson had a nice game to open the 2024 season on Thursday, but he will be kicking himself over one massive whiff late in the contest.

Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens lost 27-20 to the Kansas City Chiefs to start their season. The former MVP Jackson led the Ravens on a 77-yard drive late to very nearly tie the game. But on the penultimate play of the contest, Jackson completely missed a wide-open Zay Flowers in the end zone. Here is the video of the play.

Take a look at another angle.

That was a brutal miss by Jackson, who put the ball on the completely wrong shoulder of a crossing Flowers. While Jackson did go on to have a nifty throw on the final play of the game for the apparent game-tying TD, replay review determined that pass-catcher Isaiah Likely was just barely ( and we mean barely ) out of bounds, making for a soul-sinking loss for Baltimore to begin the year.

As a result of the Flowers miss, Jackson got memed to oblivion on X. Here were some of the most ruthless posts.

Jackson had a strong stat line overall, completing 26/41 passes for 273 yards and a touchdown and then adding another 122 yards on the ground. But his gaffe with Flowers will probably keep him awake throughout this weekend, especially since this was much less funny for Jackson than the last time that he got memed .
