‘The Ravens trust their third tight end, Charlie Kolar, to fill in, but he is not the same athlete or receiver. In the AFC divisional round, Baltimore completed 19 passes for 153 yards when using two tight ends with one back. The Ravens also gained 76 yards on eight carries, but Lamar Jackson threw an interception in the second quarter.

He finished with four catches for a team-high 73 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown that cut Buffalo’s lead to 27-25.’
