In one of the most anticipated divisional round games in a long time, the Buffalo Bills will host the Baltimore Ravens. As of Tuesday morning, the line has shifted in favor of Baltimore, despite Buffalo starting the week as the small favorite. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens will replay their Week 4 matchup in which they thrashed Josh Allen and the Bills 35–10.
Following the team’s victory over the Denver Broncos, head coach Sean McDermott declared, “It’ll be a nice week, and everyone will be looking forward to it, and they’re a great football team.” “They played well and were well-coached, and they handled us fairly well the first time around. Given that [Ravens coach John Harbaugh] has a strong lineage and won a Super Bowl, it will be difficult for us.
The Bills revealed their “Legend of the Game” for the forthcoming game on Sunday night. Fans can’t wait for Ryan Fitzpatrick, the veteran NFL quarterback, to be honored before the game.
“Of course it’s him,” commented one individual. “If he’s not shirtless, then what the hell are we doing?” Another person joked.
“Verified. For the game, I’ll be sporting my @FitzMagic_14 shirt! We appreciate your support, buddy! “Go, Bills!” suggested a third. “Play. Set. Complement. “Billion-dollar bills,” said another.
“Kyle was fantastic. This?… this is a whole other level that we haven’t yet attained. Oh, how I wish I could be there. “GO BILLS!” added a second.
As the final game of the weekend, Baltimore and Buffalo will complete the divisional round of the playoffs. Kickoff will be televised on CBS and is set at 6:30 p.m. EST.
For NFL all-time quarterback playoff rushing yards, Josh Allen surpasses Lamar Jackson.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen carried the ball just eight times during their Super Wild Card Weekend playoff matchup against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Despite the limited attempts, those runs added 46 yards to his total, bringing his career postseason rushing yards to 609.
That is currently the most career rushing yards an NFL quarterback, current or former, has ever had in the postseason.
Lamar Jackson (602 yards) and Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young (594 yards) were ahead of Allen going into the game. Young, who started the weekend as the most productive quarterback in the postseason, will always be third unless another quarterback surpasses him.
However, Allen and Jackson’s fight for top place should go on for a while. They will be on the same field on Sunday night when Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens and Allen’s Bills play in the divisional round of the playoffs.
Young appeared in 22 postseason games during his 15-season NFL career, but Allen, now in his 11th playoff game, has already surpassed him as the league’s top postseason rushing quarterback, achieving the milestone in half the games. Meanwhile, Jackson, who entered the league the same year as Allen, has only played in seven playoff games.
Allen averages 5.5 yards per carry over 759 attempts during the regular season. This includes 5.2 yards per carry in the 2024 NFL season, where he lost only two fumbles (the fewest in his career, excluding his rookie season when he missed all 16 games) and scored 12 touchdowns.
Although Allen has 5.5 yards per carry, Young leads him with an average of 5.9 yards per carry from 722 attempts. However, Jackson surpasses both with 1,014 career rushes and a 6.1 yards per carry average.
Only one of the two will advance to continue adding to their total the next week, despite the fact that the competition for the top postseason rushing quarterback will continue this weekend. In actuality, the NFL leaderboard might look very different by mid-February if Patrick Mahomes is still in the playoffs.
