NFL Reporter Has Brutal Take About Electric Lamar Jackson TD Run and Gets Roasted
By Adam Weinrib
Of all the Thursday night preseason plays we witnessed, Lamar Jackson's torching TD run against the Packers (which was later called back, because nothing gold can stay) may have been the best of the bunch.
Of course, not everyone enjoyed it. For whatever reason, NFL reporter Benjamin Allbright hit us with a take in the immediate aftermath that sent us directly back to 1963, when "Bounty Law" was still the No. 1 show on television.
I mean the run is fun, but he had 3 guys open... https://t.co/GfLiI0uYTo

Interesting idea! Only one issue, though: it was a 3rd-and-10, nobody was open beyond the sticks, and it WAS A TOUCHDOWN.
Luckily, the world came after Allbright in the same way we planned to.

Shut up, indeed!

Everybody's wide open, in a way that sucks! Let's go for it!
Why take 4 yards when you can score

Small yard chunks for days.
Of course, the only opinion that really matters: What do the men on the field think? Take it away, actual Raven Tony Jefferson!
It’s 3rd down .. all options were in front of the sticks tho

Yeah, this is boring, Benjamin. You've bored me. Try a little harder the next time you try to formulate your snoozy pseudo-take that even you don't believe from the turn of the century. Fun is good, scoring is better, short swing passes to fullbacks are from the Mesozoic era.
