One down and two more to go for the Baltimore Ravens, who will take on the Buffalo Bills in the AFC divisional playoffs next weekend.
After the Cleveland Browns beat the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday night, they’re the lowest-remaining seed and will take on the top-seeded Kansas City Chiefs. That means the No. 2 seed Bills will host the No. 5 seed Ravens at 8:15 p.m. ET on Saturday, Jan. 16.
Buffalo is red hot right now. They’re fresh from a 27-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday to advance to the divisional round themselves. The Bills were dominant down the stretch in the regular season too, blowing opponents out of the water by a combined 229-110 over the last six games (just shy of 20 points-per-game on average).
Quarterback Josh Allen is having an MVP-caliber season, completing 69.2% of his passes for 4,544 yards, 37 touchdown passes, and 10 interceptions during the regular season. But much like Lamar Jackson, Allen is also a threat on the ground, adding another 421 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns.
It’s going to be a tough matchup but if the Ravens are the Super Bowl squad they think they are, the Bills should prove no match. We’ll see in a little less than a week.
