‘What can’t be ignored, however, is how much help they received from the Ravens in the form of three turnovers and a dropped two-point conversion that would have tied the game with 1:33 left.

Thad Brown: Little things pile up to big Bills win
‘First and foremost, the Bills didn’t make mistakes. They let Baltimore handle that department for this contest. It’s no small skill in the NFL. The Patriots used to be a master at waiting for opponents to beat themselves. The Chiefs currently might the be the NFL’s most adept in this category. And those two franchises are cluttered with Vince Lombardi trophies.’

Here are the 4 keys for the Buffalo Bills to beat the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC divisional round
‘The Ravens make use of their big guys. They frequently line up two tight ends (fifth-most in the NFL), and they’re no strangers to using a running back and fullback (third-most in the NFL). In fact, the Ravens are last in the league in their use of 11 personnel at just 27.8%, but don’t let that fool you. They’re fourth-best in the league in efficiency out of 11P. So, no matter how it lines up, Baltimore can be lethal. Bills coach Sean McDermott has a perfect formula, however, to stop the Ravens and running back Derrick Henry. “Well, if we had about five 300-pound linebackers, I think we’d be in pretty good shape, I think,” McDermott said slyly this week. Since that is not an option, the Bills’ defense will have to make do with the roster they have.’
