Nobody Cares Work Harder Shirt Lamar Jackson T Shirt
Boone Southern
A fan of motivational shirts, Head Coach John Harbaugh gave his players the T-shirt earlier this season, and they've been wearing it all year. However, it got more attention on social media after Jackson wore it at a postgame press conference.
"Nobody cares if we lose. If we lose, people get excited, people get up for that. We've gotten to that point after such a good start. For us, it's not worrying about that. We gotta go out there and do our job regardless. Sick, not sick. It's going to be harder on certain nights."
"Absolutely. That's every day," Jackson said. "Nobody cares about what you're doing. You've got to work harder. If you want to be the best, you've got to work hard at being the best. If they're doubting you, work harder, it don't matter. It's their opinion. We're just going to go."
But if we're being totally honest here, this isn't the Ravens' motto. They didn't come up with it. Harbaugh, who is always looking for fresh ways to motivate his team, found it in a book written by two U.S. Navy SEAL officers.
"But the Lakers did it, huh? Wow. That's pretty cool! It's a great message, don't you think? I heard one of our coaches had it [on] in an airport recently, and someone yelled across the security line, 'I love your t-shirt! I love that!' So, it's pretty cool."
After coming close last year, the Ravens are a pundit's pick to win the Super Bowl. Lamar Jackson is No. 3 on a list of quarterback MVP candidates. Trenton Simpson is named the Ravens' breakout candidate. Ten games that could define the season include two Ravens contests.
After a Baltimore Ravens game, the emerging favorite to win the league MVP, quarterback Lamar Jackson, attended the post-game press conference with a t-shirt on that boldly pronounced this painful truth: No one cares. Work harder.

Bring on Championship Week, the week that is sure to clear up the College Football Playoff picture ... or give the selection committee a lot to weigh should certain scenarios play out in this weekend's conference championship games.
It seems simple for the undefeated teams -- Washington in the Pac-12, Georgia in the SEC, Michigan in the Big Ten and Florida State in the ACC -- win and you're in. But a loss by any of those teams could mean a difficult decision for the committee.
What's at stake: This is the most high-stakes Pac-12 championship game of all time considering both teams will have the reasonable expectation to go to the College Football Playoff with a win. For Washington, that's definitely the case. There is no scenario that exists that would see the Huskies get left out with a win. For Oregon, though, there's one nightmare scenario that could see them get left out even with a win Friday. If Alabama, Texas, Michigan and Florida State all win, the committee would then have three teams for two spots: Alabama (12-1, SEC champ); Texas (12-1, Big 12 champ); Oregon (12-1, Pac-12 champ). Texas beat Alabama on the road, so there is certainly plain logic to go with Texas over Alabama. If that's the determination, then you have Alabama vs. Oregon for the last spot and all bets are off.
Oregon wins if: The Ducks can maintain their level of play from the second half of the season. Since losing to Washington at Husky Stadium, Oregon has looked the better team. Bo Nix has played himself into a worthy Heisman recipient and has been surrounded by a team humming in all phases of the game. If the Ducks can get pressure on UW quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and get him off schedule in Las Vegas, it would bode well for them.
Washington wins if: It keeps riding the wave. It's easy to find justification for how Washington wins because it has won 19 straight. Even if some of the Huskies' recent victories haven't had the style points like those earlier in the year, this is just a team that makes plays -- on both sides -- when they matter. That matters. It also helps that receiver Rome Odunze has turned into one of the most clutch players in college football. Whenever the Huskies need a big play, he's the one they go to, and he has yet to let the team down.
X factor: UW running back Dillon Johnson. For all that has been made of Washington's passing attack, the value of Johnson has really been understated. Penix could get into trouble if UW is one-dimensional, which makes Johnson's role massive against the Ducks. -- Kyle Bonagura
What's at stake: The two teams did not meet during the regular season, and the only thing standing between Texas winning its first Big 12 championship since 2009 in its last year in the league is Mike Gundy, the same coach who beat Oklahoma in the last Bedlam game between those two schools. Gundy downplayed that angle this week, saying "Texas will be going to the SEC and we'll be in the Big 12 next year, no matter what," Gundy said. "The SEC vs. the Big 12 or Big Ten or Pac-12, I just don't think [the players] care. I don't think it's a factor." But Texas has made it a mission all year to avenge its past losses on the way out the door, with Steve Sarkisian saying his team has a "John Wick mentality." This game determines whether Texas stakes its claim to a College Football Playoff spot, while OSU has a chance to win its first Big 12 title ever and try to start the post-Texas/Oklahoma era on top of the league.
Texas wins if: The Longhorns stuff OSU running back Ollie Gordon II -- the nation's leading rusher, with 1,580 yards and 20 TDs -- and make quarterback Alan Bowman beat them. Oklahoma loaded the box against him and Gordon still got 138 yards and two TDs, but it took 33 carries and a lot of patience. Bowman came up big in that game, throwing for 334 yards. But 6-foot-3, 362-pound UT defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat leads a cast of large humans up front who allow just 85 rushing yards per game, fifth-best nationally.
Oklahoma State wins if: The Cowboys can figure out a way to get Gordon going and open up the play-action game. OSU will have to try to wear down the Longhorns' front and make some headway on first and second down because Texas' defense is the best in the nation on third down, allowing a conversion just 26% of the time. And they'll have to hold on to the ball. Texas has scored 92 points off turnovers this season, fifth-most in the country. The only game where the Longhorns didn't score off a turnover was against Oklahoma in their one loss. Being able to run the ball and keep the Texas offense off the field would make a big difference for the Cowboys.
X factor: Quinn Ewers. The Longhorns' star quarterback is much improved this year, averaging 270.9 yards per game and completing 69.8% of his passes with 17 touchdowns to five interceptions. But last year against OSU on a windy day in Stillwater, he had arguably his roughest game for Texas, completing 19 of 49 passes with two TDs and three INTs as a 34-27 lead slipped away into a 41-34 loss. -- Dave Wilson
What's at stake: The loser is likely out of the College Football Playoff picture, with Alabama for sure gone if the Crimson Tide lose. There is a scenario where both teams could get in should Alabama win the game. The surest way would be for Texas to lose to Oklahoma State in the Big 12 championship game, Florida State to lose to Louisville in the ACC championship game and Washington to beat Oregon in the Pac-12 championship game. Georgia is a playoff lock with a win and would almost certainly secure its second consecutive No. 1 seed.
Georgia wins if: The Bulldogs play like they have all season on the offensive line and dictate the flow of the game. There's a lot to like about this Georgia team, but the offensive line has been the key, with three or four players who will play in the NFL. Quarterback Carson Beck has looked more in command each game, and one of the main reasons is that he has typically had clean pockets to throw from and plenty of time to throw. Georgia has allowed just two sacks in 12 games. If the Bulldogs are able to protect Beck and mix the run with the pass, keeping Alabama's pass rush at bay, the Tide will have a hard time matching scores with a Georgia team that has been excellent at finishing games this season.
Alabama wins if: The Crimson Tide stay out of third-and-long situations on offense and don't turn the ball over. Georgia ranks second in the country in third-down defense and feasts on offenses when they get behind the sticks on third down. Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe has accounted for 26 touchdowns and turned the ball over just five times since his benching in Week 3 against South Florida. His ability to scramble and extend plays will be a big factor in this game. Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King rushed for two touchdowns last week against Georgia, and Auburn's two quarterbacks, Payton Thorne and Robby Ashford, combined for 125 rushing yards in the Bulldogs' closest game of the season, a 27-24 win over Auburn on Sept. 30.
X factor: Both teams have some key players with injuries that make them questionable for the game and, at the very least, not full speed if they do play. Alabama's top running back, Jase McClellan, injured his left foot last week against Auburn and is day-to-day depending on how much he's able to practice this week. For Georgia, star tight end Brock Bowers had some soreness in his surgically repaired left ankle and didn't play last week against Georgia Tech. Offensive guard Tate Ratledge (knee) was also held out last week. Receivers Ladd McConkey (ankle) and Rara Thomas (foot) would also fall into the questionable category. -- Chris Low
