Lovers of football will have the opportunity to witness an exciting matchup in the divisional round featuring the Buffalo Bills and the Baltimore Ravens.
This highly anticipated game will showcase two leading candidates for this season’s MVP award, quarterbacks Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, going head-to-head, with some experts even dubbing it a Super Bowl-caliber clash.
On “The Skip Bayless Show,” Fox Sports 1 personality Skip Bayless expressed his belief that the Ravens will not only defeat the Bills in upstate New York but will also advance to the Super Bowl, labeling them as “overpoweringly dominant.”
For several seasons, the Ravens have remained competitive with Jackson as their starting quarterback, but they struggled to develop the high-octane offense necessary to push past the playoffs.
To enhance their offensive capabilities, they signed star running back Derrick Henry during the offseason, who delivered a remarkable season with 1,921 rushing yards, leading the NFL with 16 rushing touchdowns and averaging 5.9 yards per carry.
During their 28-14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round, Henry showcased his skills by rushing for 186 yards and two touchdowns on just 26 carries.
His outstanding performance has alleviated much of the pressure on Jackson, who enjoyed a career-best season with 4,172 passing yards, 41 passing touchdowns, 915 rushing yards, and four rushing touchdowns.
Allen has also had a stellar year, and while Buffalo running back James Cook contributed 16 rushing touchdowns of his own, Baltimore seems to possess a broader array of offensive weapons compared to Buffalo.
As the game plays on Sunday evening along the East Coast, it has the potential to become an unforgettable classic.
