Reporter’s slip-up amuses Lamar Jackson

Nevertheless, while addressing the Lions team, a reporter mentioned the Lions as “6-1” which instantly grabbed the attention of the QB.
The 26-year-old shrewdly questioned the record once more, and upon realizing his error, the reporter amended the record to read 5-1. While Lamar is vying to add another win in their stat, the reporter’s slip of tongue led him to crack a joke stating the reporter’s effort to give the Lions an additional win.
“Are you already trying to give them a win?,” he asked the reporter.
