‘”When it all comes down to it, it’s going to be Allen vs. Mahomes,” NFL Network’s Peter Schrager shared as he previewed the matchup. “It’s funny because Josh Allen when he got in the league it was like his arm is pretty good, it’s almost as good as Mahomes. And every time Josh Allen makes one of these crazy off-position passes where he whips it, everyone says it almost looks Mahomesian. He’s constantly in the shadow of Mahomes.

Bills Today | These Bills earned weekly awards after the divisional round win
‘Holding the Ravens—holding any team—to three points in a divisional playoff game was a terrific accomplishment for the NFL lifer, and could propel Frazier into the head-coach conversation in Houston or Philadelphia.

It was electric, man. We could barely hear our middle linebacker, Tremaine (Edmunds), making calls, making checks, it was nothing like we had experienced throughout this season just because it had been so quiet in our stadium.”‘
What we learned from snap counts in Bills’ divisional-round win, game ball and more
‘The Bills used their traditional 4-3 alignment much more than usual to try and slow down Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, resulting in a big bump in playing time for linebacker A.J. Klein.

Ravens decided to rarely blitz Josh Allen, and Bills’ offense did enough for victory
‘While the Buffalo defense took the spotlight for its role in the 17-3 triumph that propelled the Bills into their first AFC championship game since January 1994 (the end of 1993 season), the efforts of the Allen-led offense – specifically the starting offensive line of Dion Dawkins, Ike Boettger, Mitch Morse, Jon Feliciano and Daryl Williams – against the vaunted Baltimore defense shouldn’t be forgotten.’

Right tackle Daryl Williams gave up two hurries and no sacks, according to Buffalo News charts. Judon and Ngakoue roughly split their time between the right and left sides.’
Isaiah McKenzie, playing Lamar Jackson on scout team, was Bills’ unsung hero in win
