Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen had to lose. Allen played a cleaner game so he’s advancing with the Buffalo Bills to face Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City in the AFC championship game. Turnovers were the difference in both divisional playoff games on Sunday.

It’s tempting to view quarterbacks through the prism of "Did he win the big one?" But nuance exists, even in the playoffs.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson accounted for two of his team’s three turnovers in the defeat, an interception and a fumble in the first half. Jackson’s typically trusty tight end, Mark Andrews, recorded a costly fumble in the fourth quarter and also dropped the potential game-tying two-point conversion.
