Lamar on upset loss vs. Titans: 'You can't underestimate no team'

The Baltimore Ravens were heavy favorites entering their divisional-round matchup against the Tennessee Titans last season, but the Lamar Jackson-led squad suffered a stunning loss to the AFC's sixth seed.

Because of that upset defeat, Jackson says Baltimore won't be "peeking ahead" this season in order to avoid the same mistake the team made against Tennessee.

"That's what happened in the playoffs, and we end up losing to the team people had us favored over," Jackson said on Complex's "Load Management" podcast, according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk.

"It's any given Sunday. You can't underestimate no team, no opponent, and that's what we did. So, I'm looking forward to this 2020 season, playing the (Cleveland) Browns first ... Don't underestimate your opponents. (The Titans) caught us by surprise. That's all it was."

Jackson, the 2019 MVP, struggled in the Ravens' 28-12 loss against Tennessee. He completed just 52% of his pass attempts while throwing one touchdown and two interceptions. Baltimore entered that contest with a 14-2 record and the NFL's highest-scoring offense.

After defeating the top-seeded Ravens, the Titans fell 35-24 to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.
