Buffalo edged Baltimore, 27-25, after the Ravens’ Mark Andrews dropped what would have been a tying two-point conversion pass in the final minutes.
Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and MVP
Both quarterbacks had their doubters leading up to the draft. Now, the AFC divisional round's winner will be within a game of a Super Bowl.
The MVP award won't be decided on Sunday, but the ramifications of the game figure to be immense for the two QBs and their franchises.
Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen have been making their cases for the MVP award all season long. However, it has only been in the last eight weeks that the field has truly narrowed down to the two quarterbacks. Saquon Barkley saw some endorsements, but most of them have quieted down.
Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Patrick Queen and Jadeveon Clowney. Those are just a few of the key players Buffalo and Baltimore lost last offseason
Following an impressive divisional-round performance vs. the Ravens, Bills QB Josh Allen sent a message to the doubters.
Stefon Diggs suffered a torn ACL ... but if I'm starting a team today, I take Lamar. He's not Tom Brady yet, but he's getting there. Mahomes has started eight seasons in the NFL, and only four ...
Texans quarterback CJ Stroud expresses uncertainty over Stefon Diggs' future as the team navigates free agency. Stroud and Joe Mixon hope for Diggs' return despite his season-ending ACL injury.
They lost Tank Dell to a devastating knee injury a few weeks ago, and of course they also lost their major offseason acquisition, Stefon Diggs, earlier in the year. And if C.J. Stroud has his way, Diggs will be back next season.
Finally, Lamar has a propensity to run more during the playoffs. He rushed 15 times last week for 81 yards in Baltimore’s win over Pittsburgh. The only time he’s rushed for 15 or more times this season was all the way back in Week 1. In six out of his seven postseason appearances, he’s rushed for at least 54 yards.
The Texans picked up wide receiver Stefon Diggs last offseason, but his year was cut short by a torn ACL in Week Eight.
