The Bills-Cincinnati Bengals 2022 Divisional Round game at Highmark Stadium was hit hard by plenty of snow. For all the talk about the snow being an advantage for Buffalo, though, Cincinnati cruised to a 27-10 victory in that game.
The winner of the Bills-Ravens game will face the victor of the Kansas City Chiefs-Houston Texans tilt in the AFC Championship Game. Buffalo and Baltimore are looking to reach the Super Bowl for the first time since 1993 and 2012, respectively.
Baltimore Ravens-Buffalo Bills Game Could Be An All-Time Classic
The Bills-Ravens game is already shaping up to be one of the best postseason games in recent memory. It’s not too often where the league’s two best quarterbacks in a specific season (in this case, 2024) square off in the playoffs, after all.
This year’s MVP race is between Allen and Jackson, the reigning winner. Throw in other big-name talents like James Cook, Von Miller, Derrick Henry and Kyle Hamilton, and you have the makings for a special game.
