OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Lamar Jackson said he’s looking forward to taking the field Sunday night when the Baltimore Ravens face the Steelers in Pittsburgh for the AFC North title.
“One hundred percent,” the star quarterback said. “I want to go there.”

Jackson returned to practice Wednesday and was a full participant, but he didn’t speak to reporters at the podium until Thursday. He said he was feeling good after missing last weekend’s game in Green Bay with a back injury.
This is the fourth game Jackson has missed this season, with the first three games all due to hamstring issues. Jackson addressed recent questions about his willingness to play through injuries.
“I’ve never given up on my team before. Honestly, I’ve never given up on anything,” Jackson said. “I don’t know where that sound came from.”
Jackson said he believes he has a good relationship with coach John Harbaugh and “absolutely” wants to stay in Baltimore.
The Ravens need a win this weekend to make the playoffs after entering the season as Super Bowl favorites.
