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

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.

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

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.

The Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens met for the second part of an NFL Christmas Day doubleheader, but if you ask Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, the real headliner Wednesday was halftime performer Beyoncé.

Barring any logistical issues with his head coach, Jackson said Beyoncé's "dope" Christmas Day halftime show will be his first chance of seeing the music icon perform live — and he's not letting the opportunity slip away, even if the scoreboard isn't favoring the Ravens.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has said he will be skipping the locker room to watch Beyoncé perform Netflix’s inaugural NFL Christmas Gameday halftime show. Jackson, 27, who will lead his team against the Houston Texans beginning tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. EST, told reporters that this will be his first time seeing Beyoncé perform.
