Baltimore coach John Harbaugh has enjoyed the fortune of competing on the NFL’s biggest stages to appreciate the setting and magnitude of what’s on the line for the Ravens and Bills in Buffalo on Sunday.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Even the forecast of frigid conditions — temperatures are expected to dip below 10 Fahrenheit — enters the equation as the third-seeded Ravens travel to face the Bills in the divisional playoff round.
The quarterback matchup alone is worthy of the weeklong hype and prime-time setting involving two dual threats, both selected in the first round of the 2018 draft, and the focus of a high-pitched debate over who is more valuable to their respective team. The 28-year-old Allen topped 40 combined touchdowns for a fifth consecutive year while overseeing an offense that was the NFL’s first to score 30 touchdowns both passing and rushing.“Excuse me for everybody watching, but I really don’t care who’s watching,” Jackson said of facing Allen. “We really don’t care how people feel about it. We’re trying to go in there and just win.”
What still sticks with Jackson is how his last visit to Buffalo ended in a 17-3 loss in the 2020 divisional round, withIn Buffalo, there’s an underlying theme of redemption, too, after the Ravens trampled the Bills in a 35-10 win in Week 4., who had a season-best 199 yards rushing against them in September, including an 87-yard touchdown run on the Ravens first offensive snap.
