Harbaugh said he spoke to Jackson on Monday morning about the social media alternate.
“[I] simply beg men now not to get into the Twitter international right after the sport, especially after a loss,” Harbaugh said. “it is by no means going to be nice. It’s no longer going to be a pleasing vicinity, you realize? It is sort of reflected in Lamar’s response because … It’s not the way he speaks. It is no longer the way he talks. It is not the phrase he ever uses. I have never heard him say things like that before.”
After Baltimore’s 28-27 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, a Twitter used tagged Jackson in a tweet that read: “a person requesting over $250 million guaranteed like [Jackson] … Games like this should not come all the way down to [kicker] Justin Tucker.”

Jackson’s tweet was deleted after 3½ hours.
“Lamar Jackson, you’ve got been around him. He’s were given certainly one of the most important hearts of each person I realize,” Harbaugh said. “You all have visible him the way he treats human beings, the way he treats youngsters, the manner he treats the media. And he is likewise one of the biggest competitors I have ever met. So the one’s kind of conversations he is taking very severely. You get trapped every so often by way of someone who is baiting you only a little bit. And also you can not live there. I think it truly is no longer a place he wants to be and that does not matter that he wishes to mention.”
