Ravens’ Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry Refuse to Eat Netflix Football Cake in Awkward Moment
In a bizarre and uncomfortable exchange, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry refused to participate in a post-game tradition at the conclusion of their 31-2 win over the Houston Texans. The two NFL stars were visited by Jamie Erdahl, a representative from streaming giant Netflix, who offered them a slice of “football-themed” red velvet cake.
The awkward moment unfolded as Jackson and Henry politely declined the dessert offer, with Jackson remarking, “Nah,” when asked if he would like to try some. When Erdahl persisted, asking if they wanted to join her in tasting the cake, Henry chimed in, stating, “I need to eat real food, then dessert.”
The unusual situation has left many fans perplexed, with some wondering if the players were simply uninterested in the sweet treat or if there was a more profound explanation for their reluctance. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the matter, it is clear that Jackson and Henry have no interest in indulging in the Netflix-branded cake.
As Fox News previously reported, Baltimore’s dominant performance secured their hold on the AFC North division, with a one-game advantage over the Pittsburgh Steelers following their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs earlier in the day. The victory marks an impressive milestone for Jackson, who has now surpassed Michael Vick’s record for rushing yards by a quarterback.
In a post-game interview, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh praised Jackson’s remarkable achievement, saying, “It’s just another phenomenal performance. He set the all-time NFL record for rushing yards (for a quarterback) in pro football. That kind of speaks for itself. It’s just kind of what he does every week.”
The exchange between Jackson, Henry, and Erdahl serves as a stark reminder that even in moments of celebration and accomplishment, athletes are not required to participate in promotional activities or engage with sponsors, no matter how unusual they may seem.
