Baltimore Ravens Lamar Jackson 'Fired Up' For OBJ's Touchdown

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was happy that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. caught his first touchdown.

When Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. caught his first touchdown pass of the season in a 37-3 win over the Seattle Seahawks, star quarterback Lamar Jackson was 'pumped' for him. 

"Oh yeah, you know it's his birthday today so I was definitely fired up," Jackson said. "And my brother threw the touchdown, it was great. Made a great pass, he made a great catch, I don't know what his celebration was, I was just pumped up cause he got his touchdown."

Beckham Jr.'s touchdown reception came on the Ravens' penultimate drive of the game on a 6-yard pass from backup quarterback Tyler Huntley. The Pro Bowl wide receiver had five catches for 56 yards and a touchdown on the day.

The touchdown was his first of the season, a drought that seemed to have frustrated Beckham Jr. at times during the year. It was also Huntley's first touchdown on the season in his third appearance. The score capped off a dominant win over the Seahawks, the second time this season that Baltimore has throttled a strong NFC opponent. 

Not only did Beckham Jr. break his touchdown drought, but he also celebrated his 31st birthday on Sunday. 

This year, the veteran wide receiver has tallied 19 catches for 218 yards and a touchdown in seven games. He joined Baltimore this offseason, signing a one-year, $15 million contract in April. Before that, he had not played since Super Bowl LVI when he tore his ACL playing for the Los Angeles Rams. 

Next up for the Ravens is an AFC North matchup with the Cleveland Browns on Nov. 12 at 1 p.m.
