Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has clearly been on social media quite a bit this weekend, as he tweeted a GIF of Denzel Washington saying “Boom” in Training Day just before it was announced that his team had acquired Maxx Crosby in a trade. Then, on Monday, he chirped at ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky.
With the NFL’s free agency window kicking off in earnest on Monday, there was tons of NFL news being reported on Monday, with Dan Orlovsky sharing his reaction to many of it.

One video that the former Detroit Lions QB retweeted from a main ESPN account saw him discussing what the acquisition of Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby — who fans believe will fit right in in Baltimore with his unique personality — and say that there are “no more excuses” for Jackson and the Ravens.
Lamar Jackson caught wind of Orlovsky’s take, though, and felt compelled to respond.

While the Baltimore Ravens are entering their first season under rookie head coach Jesse Minter after parting ways with John Harbaugh after 18 seasons, the bookie are expecting big things out of B-More, as they currently have the shortest odds of any team in the AFC to win the Super Bowl, and only trail the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks overall.
The NFL has not announced its schedule for the 2026 season yet. Given that the Baltimore Ravens are expected to be a contender, though, it’s likely they’ll open their season in a primetime matchup, with possible opponents including the Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Chargers, Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills.
