The Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was pretty serious when he announced that he wouldn’t be returning to the locker room ahead of the second half in the Christmas game. He has plans to tune in on the field to watch pop icon Beyonce’s grand halftime show, just like the audience.
Given the seriousness on the quarterback’s face, while announcing his unconventional plans, he hasn’t received quite a positive response from the fans who labeled him “irresponsible.” As the discussion led to Shannon Sharpe’s prominent Nightcap show, Chad Johnson clarified Jackson’s words for the audience.
When he was asked to share his thoughts on Jackson potentially missing the crucial locker room time in the halftime over a performance by Beyonce on Christmas; Johnson assured fans and the Nightcap host that the Ravens signal-caller was trolling and nothing else.
Lamar trolling man! He’s not serious. For real. He’s definitely not for real. If you know Lamar, if you know his DNA, you understand his makeup and who he actually is beyond one of the greatest performers of not just this generation, [but] of all time… Lamar not gonna be watching no goddamn halftime show.
Chad Johnson told Shannon Sharpe
Let it me known that Lamar Jackson WILL be watching Beyonce at halftime on Christmas Day.

The NFL legend emphasized that there’s not even a possibility that players would distract themselves with halftime shows since coaches instill this belief that it’s for fans only while for the players, the game is the utmost priority.

After Johnson cleared out the misinterpretation of Jackson’s words, the quarterback received immense praise from sports analyst Sharpe. While expressing his confidence in the two-time NFL MVP’s understanding of priorities, Sharpe praised him for being savvy enough to understand this, especially to feed his hunger for the Super Bowl.
The halftime show is for the fans in attendance and the people watching… you get to go to the game and that’s what you have to, like when you go to the Super Bowl we understood that the Super Bowl is for the fans, and the game is for us [players]. All the festivities, that’s for all the people coming in.
Shannon Sharpe said
The playful banter of the halftime show was observed after a long time in the All-Pro quarterback, who has been determined to prove himself in the competitive league and ensure his status in future Hall of Fame.
