Lamar Jackson fired back at a Ravens critic Sunday following the team’s stunning loss to the Jaguars in a vulgar tweet that has since been deleted.

A short time after the Ravens suffered their fourth loss of the season, Jackson — who went 16-for-32 for 254 yards and one touchdown in the 28-27 loss — responded to a fan who critiqued his performance and pursuit of a lucrative contract extension.

“When someone is asking for over 250 mil guaranteed like @Lj_era8… games like this should not come to @jtuck9 [Ravens kicker Justin Tucker]. Let Lamar walk and spend that money on a well rounded [sic] team,” the critic tweeted, tagging Baltimore’s quarterback in the message.

Jackson then alleged the fan “never smelt a football field” in his profane response, which also included a homophobic insult.

“Boy STFU y’all be cappin too much on this app mf never smelt a football field never did s— but eat d—k,” he wrote.

The quarterback’s tweet was deleted hours later, per ESPN.

The Twitter exchange came after a wild finish in Jacksonville. The Ravens took a 27-20 lead with just over two minutes remaining before Trevor Lawrence led a drive that ended with a touchdown and a successful two-point conversion with seconds to go in regulation. Tucker came up just short with a 67-yard field-goal attempt as time expired.

“I was just reacting at the time, I was mad. I wasn’t thinking about actions,” he said. “It was like, bitter. I was bitter. I feel like you should be bitter after a loss though. No smiles. In fact, the fans should be mad we lost too, but not mad at us. We tried.

“But it happened. I apologize, if I hurt feelings out there.”

After the Ravens lost 28-27 to Jacksonville on Sunday, a fan suggested Baltimore should let Jackson leave via free agency. Jackson responded in a tweet that was later deleted, saying the person “never smelt a football field” and using vulgar language that members of the LBGTQ community said was offensive.

Jackson said he was upset after the game, and the fan’s tweet was the first thing he saw on social media.

“I just busted my behind — my whole team did, coaches did — and that’s what I seen, and I just reacted to it,” he said. “My bad.”

Jackson said his girlfriend recommended he delete the tweet.

When asked what he learned from this episode, Jackson said: “There’s kids watching. I don’t need the kids saying that. Just watch what you say. Try to stay off Twitter if something like that happens again. Hopefully we’re not losing no more.”
