Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens advanced to the AFC Divisional Round in impressive fashion. The team defeated its divisional rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, dominating in a 28-14 contest, and will play the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, with Lamar and Josh Allen making for a mouth-watering contest.
By defeating the Steelers, the Ravens confirmed their status as the best team in the AFC North. One curious scene emerged after the game: a hug between Lamar Jackson and Patrick Queen, the Steelers linebacker who was drafted by Baltimore but moved to Pittsburgh in free agency.
It looked like a common scene right after the end of the game, but later, it emerged that Queen was dealing with a huge bout of flu and needed plenty of treatment to be able to play. NFL fans trolled about the situation, joking that Queen would try to pass the flu to the quarterback:

"Lamar gonna be sick as a dog, man", said one fan.
"He hugged the quarterback with the worst immune system in the league while having the flu. I’m out", another joked.
"Tryna get Lamar sick, he ain’t slick. We all know [that] 8's immune system weak as shit", a third fan said.
Jackson's immune system became a topic of discussion prior to the 2021 season. The Baltimore Ravens quarterback opted not to get vaccinated and had to adhere to many different protocols, even missing games due to contracting COVID-19.
Lamar Jackson still has a negative playoff record
The win against the Steelers improved his postseason record to 3-4, which is still unimpressive for a quarterback of his caliber. He has led the Baltimore Ravens to two campaigns as the #1 seed in the AFC during his career, but both times, he couldn't make it to the Super Bowl.
His losses came against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Tennessee Titans, the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs. Although nobody doubts his individual quality, proved by two MVP awards and being considered the favorite for the 2024 season, making a deep run in the playoffs is still something that he's missing.
