Lamar Jackson, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, expressed his excitement about watching Beyoncé perform during the halftime show of the Christmas Day game against the Houston Texans. He humorously noted that he plans to sneak out to catch the performance, acknowledging the unique opportunity.

This isn't the first time an NFL player has chosen to watch a halftime show instead of sticking to game preparations. Past players, like Bengals kicker Evan McPherson and Hall of Famer Michael Irvin, have also made similar choices during significant games.
