Man’s teary face symbolizes Bills fans’ reaction to playoff win

Alan Pergament: CBS’ Davis, Eagle, Steratore are ‘uber’ sharp in Bills historic victory
‘To use one of Davis’ favorite words Saturday describing the aggressiveness of Indianapolis Colts coach Frank Reich, the analyst was “uber” sharp.’
The Bills survived the Colts because, again, Josh Allen was best player on the field
‘Well, it’s not rigged, and as great as Allen has been, no one can say boo when Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers eventually wins the award. But really, who cares who wins the MVP? Certainly not Allen, a team guy through and through. He cares about wins, and he now has 14 of those this season.’
Who will Buffalo Bills play in next round of the playoffs? It’s the Ravens

Buffalo Bills will play Ravens on Saturday night in divisional round

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. He threw three touchdown passes and the Ravens won, 24-17. But Jackson as a runner was held to just 40 yards on 11 carries. If the Bills had been able to generate any real offense in the game the result may have been much different. A few weeks later when the Titans beat the Ravens in the first round of last year’s playoffs, Logan Ryan said Tennessee used the blueprint the Bills set in their matchup with Baltimore to scheme against Jackson in that game.’

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.’
