Baltimore Ravens defensive back Kyle Hamilton defended quarterback Lamar Jackson after the team's 32-14 loss on Thanksgiving night against the Cincinnati Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium.
"Even LeBron (James) has an off night," Hamilton told reporters after the game.

"He has not had a night like this in a long, long time," NBC's Jason Garrett said of Jackson.
Jackson, who entered Week 13 having played in seven games this season, sat out the team's walk-through earlier in the week because of a toe injury.
Jackson injured his hand against the Bengals in Nov. 2024. In Oct. 2024, Jackson had a highlight-reel touchdown pass to tight end Isaiah Likely during the fourth quarter against the Bengals at Paycor Stadium.
