The highly anticipated matchup between the AFC heavyweights is expected to be one of the biggest games of the NFL postseason pitting Mahomes, who's in search of the coveted three-peat, against his quarterback rival in Allen, who's still looking for his first Lombardi Trophy.
Allen, who finished the game with a pair of rushing touchdowns, was among the first players to greet Jackson at midfield following the Bills’ 27-25 win. The two quarterbacks shared a hug, and Allen had words of encouragement for Jackson.
Buffalo capitalized on Baltimore's mistakes and will now face the Kansas City Chiefs for a spot in the Super Bowl.
Now, Allen’s Buffalo Bills will host Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens in what I would argue is statistically the greatest quarterback match-up in divisional playoff history . The greatest of what will be, after this weekend, 229 divisional playoff games in the Super Bowl era.
The Buffalo Bills feel disrespected, and what occurred Sunday night will only add to the chips on their collective shoulders.
The Bills hung on when a wide-open Mark Andrews dropped a two-point conversion pass from Lamar Jackson, allowing the ball to bounce off his chest with 1:33 left.
Josh Allen rushed for two touchdowns, Terrel Bernard and Von Miller made big defensive plays and the Buffalo Bills earned a spot in the AFC Championship Game with a 27-25 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night at Orchard Park,
Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills were able to hang on at home and beat the Baltimore Ravens, 27-25, to set up a meeting with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game next Sunday at Arrowhead.
After staving off a near-comeback attempt by the Baltimore Ravens, quarterback Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are headed back to the AFC championship game for the first time since the 2020-21 season.
Patrick Mahomes will get a chance to make history as the first NFL quarterback to ever win three Super Bowls in a row. Josh Allen will get the chance to beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs for the first time in four tries and bring his Buffalo Bills back to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1994.
