The Pittsburgh Steelers season came to an end on Saturday night with a 28-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Wild Card showdown.
The Steelers were trailing 21-0 at halftime, and they scored two touchdowns in the third quarter to shrink the deficit.
Nonetheless, the Ravens were too much for the Steelers as Mike Tomlin's team lost to Lamar Jackson and company for the second time in a month.
It was a rough performance by many of the Steelers players, but veteran cornerback Donte Jackson unfortunately went viral for the wrong reasons.
Jackson was seen with a poor effort on a number of plays, including this one in the third quarter.
Jackson was also beat on a touchdown pass to Rashod Bateman in the first quarter, which was the first score of the game for either team.

As such, fans piled on Jackson on social media during and after the game.
"Donte Jackson is dying to be in Cabo," one fan wrote.
"Embarrassing…that’s not #Steelers football," wrote another.
"This is gross - cut him. As a player, in the playoffs, in primetime, against a hated rival, and you just…. STAND THERE ?!" said another during the game.
"This is the kind of tape that *should* result in walking papers..." said another.
"Donte Jackson is just ready for his vacation to start lmao He's straight up chillin out there," another wrote.
"Donte Jackson is going to be unemployed," another stated.
Jackson spent the first six years of his NFL career with the Carolina Panthers after being selected in the second round of the 2018 NFL draft. However, the Panthers traded Jackson and a sixth-round pick to the Steelers for Diontae Johnson and a seventh-round pick in March 2024.
Jackson ended up starting 15 regular season games for the Steelers while recording a career-high five interceptions, although the performance on Saturday was not pleasing to Pittsburgh fans.
The veteran is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so there is a chance this was his final game in Pittsburgh.
