While reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson may be “irrepressible” to his team, he’s willing to risk getting into a little trouble this Christmas Day. The Baltimore Ravens quarterback revealed he plans to leave the locker room at halftime to catch a glimpse of superstar Beyoncé on stage.
The Ravens (10-5) will face Queen Bey’s hometown Houston Texans (9-6) this Wednesday, and Jackson told reporters Monday he doesn’t want to miss the 32-time Grammy-winning singer’s performance. .
“I’m going to go over there and see,” Jackson said via ESPN. “(It’ll be my) first time seeing Beyoncé perform, and it’s at our game — it’s dope. I’m going to go out and watch. Sorry (Ravens head coach John) Harbaugh, sorry. , sorry guys.”
While Jackson may be telling his coach and teammates, “I’m sorry, I’m not sorry,” Harbaugh warned Monday that “there’s going to be a lot of trouble,” when asked about players leaving the locker room to watch the show. went

Before the two-time NFL MVP’s comments, Harbaugh told reporters the story of Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson, who was caught looking at rapper Snoop Dogg during Super Bowl LVI three years ago, before issuing a stern warning.
“I can’t say I’m a huge Beyonce fan, but I think I like her,” Harbaugh added. “Is she doing country (music) now? You think some of those country songs will be in there? You’ll have to report to me on that.”
Harbaugh may only get a firsthand report on the show from his veteran quarterback, who plans to get a glimpse of the performance regardless of the half score.
“No, I’m not even thinking about the lead,” Jackson said. “I was just thinking about seeing Beyonce for the first time.”
The Ravens have already clinched their spot in the playoffs after a 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last week and still have a chance to win the AFC North.
Jackson is once again considered one of the top candidates for MVP this season, as the 27-year-old has 3,787 passing yards, 765 rushing yards for 37 passing touchdowns and three rushing in Week 16.
The three-time Pro Bowler and the Ravens are playing in their second straight Christmas Day game this year, and Jackson revealed it’s not something he’s “crazy in love with.”
“I want to spend some time at home with my family. I don’t want to play Christmas all the time — not all the time,” Jackson said. “But no, it’s great. All jokes aside, it’s great. It’s a gift for everyone. They’ll see us play, and (there will be) a lot of eyes on us, and I believe a lot All the people are going. See us at the right time.”
Results aside, Jackson seems determined to gift himself this Christmas with a Beyoncé concert and, he hopes, a win against the CJ Strode-led Texans. All the holiday action starts in Houston at 4:30pm on Netflix.
