Bills vs. Ravens is set: 6 thoughts on AFC divisional round matchup
‘Buffalo devised a perfect game plan for Jackson in their 2019 Week 14 matchup. They forced him to beat them with his arm, and he was able to in the end.

Colin Sheridan: After 25 years of irrelevance, Buffalo Bills give a forgotten town hope
‘Buffalo? Nothing. Unless you count rapper Benny the Butcher. There is no Beat poetry inspired by the city. No Breaking Bad to cement its status amongst pop culturalists. It sits perched on the edge of Lake Erie, like a forgotten pup from a litter of old industrial American cities. If Niagara Falls wasn’t on its doorstep, it’s unlikely it would be visited by anybody, ever, only by mistake.’
