Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is excited to perform on the field alongside Beyoncé at halftime of the team’s Christmas Day matchup against the Houston Texans. Jackson told reporters on Monday that he wouldn’t be disappointed about missing Beyoncé’s performance because he’ll be on the field for it. He even shared his favorite Beyoncé song, “Irreplaceable.”
Jackson has been putting himself in the running for a second consecutive NFL MVP award, leading the Ravens to the top of the AFC North division and in contention for homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. If he were to win the award, it would be his third time, but he emphasized that his ultimate goal is to win a championship.
Jackson credited his teammates for helping him achieve individual accolades, saying that the MVP award is a team effort. He reiterated that his biggest goal is to win a championship, which has been his goal since he was a child. The Ravens-Texans game is set to take place on Christmas Day as part of a special slate of matchups being featured on Netflix, with Beyoncé set to perform at halftime.
