Ravens and Bills lost plenty of talent last offseason, but stayed in Super Bowl contention

‘Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Patrick Queen and Jadeveon Clowney. Those are just a few of the key players Buffalo and Baltimore lost last offseason, when free agency and salary cap constraints threatened to knock both teams down a notch. Instead, the Bills and Ravens are right back in the second round of the playoffs, and one will advance to the AFC championship game.’

How Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen have proved draft doubters wrong

‘”The skill set was there for both,” ESPN senior draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said. “They were unique and I get that. That’s why people were misevaluating what they could be in the NFL, because they weren’t what the NFL was used to seeing.”‘

Legacy lingers over Bills-Ravens matchup

‘During their first seven seasons in the NFL, Jackson and Allen have not only elevated their respective franchises into yearly contention for the AFC title, they’ve rewritten the record book when it comes to quarterbacks combining rushing and passing..’

NFL All-Pro edge rusher says Josh Allen is tougher to play against than Lamar Jackson

‘”I might say I’d rather go against Lamar with all respect,” Crosby said. “They’re both incredible, but I think Josh Allen has shown it over and over again. Even in the losses to the Chiefs in those big games in the playoffs, Josh Allen was still having career games, he just didn’t have the ball last. So I feel like Josh Allen, he’s got the clutch gene for sure and he is so dangerous running and throwing the ball.”‘

Bills get major advantage over Ravens with latest NFL injury news

‘Per Tom Pelissero, the Ravens are listing wide receiver Zay Flowers as doubtful to play in the game Sunday. Flowers injured his knee in the final week of the regular season against the Cleveland Browns and didn’t play in the team’s wild card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.’

Heavy snow will favor Bills over Ravens because of Josh Allen’s superhuman plays in inclement weather

‘Josh Allen, the Bills QB, has a track record of excelling in freezing conditions, with a 9-1 record in games at or below 32°F. His dual-threat ability to both pass and run makes him particularly dangerous in these environments. Notably, in a snowy game against the 49ers last month, Allen became the first quarterback in NFL history to record passing, rushing, and receiving touchdowns all in the same game.’

McDermott: Bills look to learn from past game against Ravens

‘”Well, I mean, I think it’s a snapshot, really, of adversity on the whole where you don’t get the results you’re looking for. You go back and you evaluate everything that you can, from personnel to strategy to play calls, just to name a few of the areas. I mean, there are countless at this point, so you try and take as much out of that experience as you can, certainly when you look to play them again later in the year, and that’s an important piece for us. And now, as we get into the last couple of days, heading into the game, is really the execution of those key learns that that we took from that game.”‘

WNY and Baltimore Churches unite for ‘Playoff Food Drive Challenge’

‘”All of the donated food will go to food pantries in the local cities that the churches regularly support. It’s kind of a win-win all around, especially for Buffalo, because we will win. That’s how it’s all going to turn out, but it’s all nice and friendly and there’s no challenges, there’s no smack being talked here. It’s just better to accept the reality that the bills are the best,” jokingly stated Rev. Breese in an interview with WBEN.’
