It seems like Lamar Jackson has a good sense of humor.
Last week, the San Francisco 49ers suspended broadcaster Tim Ryan KNBR’s “Murph and Mac” morning radio show for saying that Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was good at fakes because the ball blends in with his dark skin and dark uniform.

He’s really good at that fake, Lamar Jackson, but when you consider his dark skin with a dark football with a dark uniform, you could not see that thing,” . “I mean you literally could not see when he was in and out of the mesh point and if you’re a half step slow on him in terms of your vision forget about it, he’s out of the gate.”

During today’s Bills-Ravens game, Jackson showed up to the game wearing white sleeves and white gloves and many feel like Jackson was sending a message to Ryan with his choice of clothing.

Lamar Jackson—with a white glove and sleeve—appeared to fool some Bills defenders there with the run action 😏
