With the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage in hand, the Baltimore Ravens appear to have quite the edge on the Tennessee Titans ahead of their AFC divisional-round matchup on Saturday.
But some fans now are a bit worried thanks to one of the Ravens’ most recent social media posts.
Tuesday is Lamar Jackson’s birthday, and numerous athletes and celebrities have reached out to wish the Ravens quarterback well. That includes rapper Drake, who posted a tribute to Jackson on his Instagram story, which the Ravens’ Twitter account promptly shared.

Some Ravens fans, however, weren’t nearly as thrilled by the endorsement.
Nooooo tell Drake to leave LJ alone until after the Super Bowl brah…

But some noted the curse may be no more.
The Raptors won the finals man. The curse is broken.

It’s ok guys. Drake is the ambassador for the Raptors and they won the NBA Finals this past year. We’re good!

Will the so-called “Drake curse” live on in the AFC divisional round? Only time will tell.
