Ravens QB Lamar Jackson Apologizes After Controversial Video Surfaces

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson apologized Wednesday night after a video purportedly showing him potentially breaking a few road laws surfaced online.

TMZ reported that the quarterback allegedly posted video on his Instagram profile Tuesday showing what's believed to be himself driving 105 mph while holding his phone in his hand.

To make matters worse, the video also showed a seat-belt light on the dashboard, showing that someone in the car may not have been buckled up.

Jackson issued an apology on Twitter late Wednesday. "I made a bad decision and will set a better example going forward. #Myapologies," he wrote.

There's no word on any discipline handed down by the Ravens or NFL for the video.

The video appears to have been taken down from his Instagram account since the TMZ story surfaced.
