For the first time in nearly 30 years, the Buffalo Bills are back to the AFC Championship Game. Combined with the Baltimore Ravens Saturday night, the No. 2-seeded conference attendees were not perfect in the windy Orchard Park. Josh Allen and Co scored just three points in a volatile first half, and even after Ravens full-back Lamar Jackson went out in the fourth quarter due to a concussion, the bill nearly allowed rookie rugby player Tyler Huntley to enter Baltimore. to draw a count. Still, Buffalo grew big when it counted, with Allen finding Stefon Diggs for the only offensive score of the night and Taron Johnson making NFL history with a 101-intercept return for an offense – easily the most monumental play in a 17- 3 Section Round victory.
Jackson, who was designated as intentional on his last game after a bad turn forced him into his own end zone, struggled to pull the Ravens out of an offensive slump that was clear from the start. Allen, on the other hand, was not nearly as deadly through the air as he regularly was during an MVP Caliber 2020 campaign, but got the ball right well enough. The Bills defense, on the other hand, really showed at home by scoring two fourth backs and neutralizing one of the game’s top attacks to not just win.
Stay tuned for instant takeaways from the Bills’ historic victory Saturday night.
