Heavy snow will favor Bills over Ravens because of Josh Allen's superhuman plays in inclement weather
‘Josh Allen, the Bills QB, has a track record of excelling in freezing conditions, with a 9-1 record in games at or below 32°F. His dual-threat ability to both pass and run makes him particularly dangerous in these environments. Notably, in a snowy game against the 49ers last month, Allen became the first quarterback in NFL history to record passing, rushing, and receiving touchdowns all in the same game.’

Opinion: Ravens at Bills: Sal's keys, notes and stats
‘There’s no easy or right answer here, but if they let the Ravens – with either or both of these players – control the game on the ground, that will keep the Bills off-balance on defense, not allowing them to attack upfield. That would also allow Baltimore to control the clock and keep Josh Allen and the Bills offense off the field.’

Carucci Take 2: Expect the Bills’ offense to show up in playoff rematch vs. the Ravens
‘The Bills’ anemic offensive production against the Ravens was far from anything they’d shown in the 16 games during which Josh Allen and the rest of the starters took most of the snaps. Though it’s fair to say the Ravens’ defense had something to do with that output, it’s more accurate to point to the Bills’ offense being uncharacteristically out of sync in terms of execution and coaching. Things figure to be far different Sunday.’
