Lamar Jackson promised to skip halftime to watch Beyonce perform. His head coach made sure to check if he did.

On Monday after the Ravens practice, Lamar Jackson joked or referenced to the media that he wouldn't miss Beyonce's halftime performance at NRG Stadium on Christmas Day during Baltimore's crucial matchup against Houston.

Lamar Jackson did not watch Beyonce's half-time show after all as the Baltimore Ravens thrashed the Houston Texans.

If Jackson does view the show, he won't be the first player to stay out to watch a halftime performance. During Super Bowl LVI, Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson watched Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar hit the stage. The Ravens are currently 10-5, while the Texans are 9-6.

Lamar Jackson did apologize in advance. The Baltimore Ravens quarterback joked in practice this week that he'd find a way to watch Beyonce's halftime performan

Christmas Day this year includes the NFL and a halftime performance from Beyoncé. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson says he’s in for both.

Lamar Jackson vows to catch the Christmas Day halftime show of Beyoncé during Baltimore Ravens' game against the Houston Texans.

The Texans could secure a 10-win season and end Jackson’s chances of winning a third MVP with a strong outing in the home finale. Fresh off a 27-19 loss at Kansas City, Houston hopes to bring a bit more job to its fans this holiday season.

Beyoncé provided more excitement than either game during Netflix’s NFL debut on Christmas Day. Riding into her halftime appearance on a white horse, the 32-time Grammy winner rocked her hometown Houston crowd in a nearly 13-minute performance on Wednesday.

That’s as positive as the rest of the afternoon went at NRG Stadium on Christmas Day. The AFC South champions helped catapult the Baltimore Ravens closer to winning the AFC North in Week 18 in a demoralizing 31-2 loss in front of Beyonce and a monstrous Netflix audience.

There was one good thing to come out of the subpar Wednesday football we got on Christmas. Lamar Jackson cemented his status as the best rushing QB ever. The Ravens quarterback broke Michael Vick’s all-time rushing record for quarterbacks (6,109) after his 87-yard rushing performance against the Texans.
