‘Following the injury, the Bills Mafia wanted to do something for the Ravens’ quarterback. As they have done many times in the past, the fan base went the donation route. One fan on Reddit found that Jackson’s favorite charity was Blessings in a Backpack. He posted his donation and it has since taken off with many other fans sending money to the cause.’

Bills vs. Ravens inactives: Darryl Johnson out, Trent Murphy set to play
‘Johnson was listed as questionable heading into the game, but was among the team’s inactive player list on Saturday night. The young defensive end is a special teams standout so his absence could be missed in that area. Playing in his place will be veteran Trent Murphy.’
Five takeaways: Bills punch ticket to AFC Championship game as defense dominates Jackson, Ravens
‘Johnson struggled mightily to begin the year and at one point was in danger of losing his starting job as the Bills’ nickel cornerback to undrafted CB Cam Lewis. But he has since turned his season around and gone on to make two season-changing plays for the Bills.’
Bills smother Ravens, advance to AFC title game
‘To open the second half the Bills marched 66 yards to go up 10-3, on Josh Allen’s quick pass left to Stefon Diggs, from three yards out. The Ravens answered with a long drive, to the Bills’ nine. But on third-and-goal, disaster.’

Bills beat Ravens to reach first AFC title game since 1994 as Lamar Jackson exits early
‘Those past glories finally are being recaptured by the best Bills team in a generation, led by brilliant young quarterback Josh Allen. A memorable season became even more so Saturday night when the Bills beat the Baltimore Ravens, 17-3, in Orchard Park, N.Y., in a divisional playoff game before a delighted crowd of 6,772 fans at Bills Stadium.’
Unlikely hero Taron Johnson carries Bills to AFC title game
‘It was Taron Johnson who made 6,700 Bills Mafia fans, some of them bare chested, sound more like 67,000 fans.’
Marv Levy: ‘Wide Right’ showed just how special Bills fanbase is
‘“It’s really very much of a community,” Levy told The Post. “You can’t walk down the street in Buffalo if you’re the head coach there, or one of the top-notch players without people stopping and honking their horn and wanting to talk to you, it drives you crazy sometimes, but you develop a great respect for ’em.’
Why Brian Daboll is the front-runner to be the Chargers’ next coach
‘Though nothing has been decided and the process is ongoing, Daboll does appear to be Telesco’s first choice, something that, given their history together, has been widely speculated.’
Chargers keeping options open, but Brian Daboll appears to be the front-runner
‘Another sign pointing in Daboll’s direction is that the hotshot coordinator has only interviewed with the Chargers and New York Jets — Daboll grew up in Hamburg, New York, and so did Telesco. But the Jets moved forward with Saleh.’
The Buffalo Bills can win the Super Bowl
‘On the flip side, the Los Angeles Chargers must wait if they wish to hire Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll to be their next head coach. Daboll, 45, and the Bills have unfinished business first, though.’
Opinion: ‘Sucky moment’ led to Bills knocking out Lamar Jackson, advancing to AFC championship game
‘Jackson couldn’t lead the Ravens to as much as a touchdown against a much-maligned Bills defense that kept him bottled up in the pocket for much of the night. And when Jackson drove the Ravens to their best opportunity to score a touchdown in the third quarter that might have tied the game, the game changed just like that.’
Bills Advance To AFC Championship With 17-3 Win Over Ravens
‘Buffalo’s defense took the pressure off of a Josh Allen-led offense that was limited to 223 yards offense, and made up for rookie kicker Tyler Bass missing two of three field goal attempts — a 43-yarder that was wide right in the second quarter and a 44-yarder that sailed wide left with 5:30 remaining.’
Buffalo Bills beat Baltimore Ravens, advance to first AFC Championship Game since 1993 season
‘The Bills’ return to prominence under fourth-year head coach Sean McDermott has had western New York buzzing, with Saturday night’s contest played at Bills Stadium before approximately 6,700 fans who sounded more like 67,000 on NBC’s television broadcast. The stadium had been closed throughout the regular season due to COVID-19, but state and local officials put together a plan for the postseason that allowed attendees who registered a negative coronavirus test to attend.’
Taron Johnson’s incredible 101-yard interception return pads Buffalo Bills’ lead
‘The play tied the longest interception return in NFL postseason history, with Green Bay’s George Teague (1993, Wild Card).’
