Lamar: 'No reason for us to shake hands' with Titans postgame

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson went straight to the locker room after earning his first career playoff win in Sunday's wild-card game, opting not to shake hands with Tennessee Titans players.

Jackson said afterward that his decision to avoid any postgame interaction with Tennesse's players stemmed from their behavior when the two teams met in the regular season.

"I feel it was just disrespect to see what went on before the game the last time we played those guys, and they were standing on our logo and seeing them get into it with our coach," Jackson said, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley. "That was just disrespectful because we treat all of our opponents with respect. It wasn't no reason for us to shake hands and stuff like that.

"We'll be the bigger guy, so we just walked off the field. I feel like we were being the bigger guys."

Members of both teams engaged in a pregame confrontation in Week 11 after Titans players huddled on Baltimore's midfield logo before kickoff. Tennessee cornerback Malcolm Butler and Ravens head coach John Harbaugh were seeing exchanging words during the altercation. The Titans won the tilt 30-24 in overtime.

But the Ravens got their revenge Sunday.

Several Baltimore players celebrated cornerback Marcus Peters' game-sealing interception on the Titans' logo, and some waved to Tennesse's sideline.

"I felt like it was a good time to go ahead and do that - so we did it," Ravens defensive lineman Derek Wolfe said of the celebration. "It wasn't a disrespect thing. It was a team unity thing like we accomplished something as a team, so we're going to go out there and take a little bit of revenge. I don't think it's a big deal."

The Ravens and Titans also faced off in last season's playoffs, with Tennessee stunning Baltimore in a 28-12 victory.
