The Baltimore Ravens handled their business, dispatching the Tennessee Titans 20-13 in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs on Sunday. While Baltimore’s divisional-round opponent will be decided late Sunday evening by the winner of the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns contest, we at least know the possibilities.
As I covered immediately after Baltimore’s playoff win, the Ravens will have to travel to either the top-seeded Kansas City Chiefs or the second-seeded Buffalo Bills in the AFC divisional playoffs next weekend. But when posed with the possibility of both, which matchup is perhaps the best for Baltimore?
That’s a tough question. On one hand, the Ravens have yet to beat quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. On the other, the Bills are hot right now and look to be quite formidable on defense. At the same time, Kansas City got an important week of rest while Buffalo had to battle it out with the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. However, as defensive end Calais Campbell noted following the game, next week’s opponent might not much matter since the Ravens are likely going to have to play both the Chiefs and Bills if they want to reach Super Bowl LV.
Our own Robert Sobus asked the fans who they’d rather face, so take a look at the quick breakdowns of each team below and vote.
With today’s 20-13 win over the Titans, the Ravens will travel to Kansas City or Buffalo to play in the divisional round.
