Let’s go back to 2020 postseason. Josh Allen & his teammates defeated Colts by 27-24 in the wild card game. They showed dominance over Ravens, crushing Lamar Jackson and his teammates by 17-3. But lost to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship by 24-38. That was the last time they were in the AFC Championship. This year, they have crossed the first hurdle, defeating Broncos 31-7. Now, they are up against the Ravens again in the divisional playoff matchup.

On January 15, he looked confident during the press conference before their Sunday game. Making a strong demand from the HC Sean McDermott and his teammates, the QB said, “We’re just trying to have a good week of practice, playing a good team here. We’re at home, we’ll have to use the fans to our advantage and again, we’re just find a way to score one more point.” 70,000 fans supported Bills in their wild card game against the Broncos. They expect the same against the Ravens at Highmark Stadium. If they do, their 4-year-old drought of AFC Championship will end.

The only problem for Josh Allen is their O-line. While they won 47-10 against the Jaguars in the week 3 game, they have relied more on their quarterback to carry them over the line. When pressure was applied, they also crumbled. Patriots who finished 13th in the AFC showed the Bills need a more attacking mindset but lost 21-24. However, the QB is calling up the Bills mafia to support them.

He even clarified his expectations and added, “Well, hopefully, very loud, when they’re on offense and on 2nd and 3rd down and making it hard for them, but just the energy, the juice, the vibes.” He hopes that would sway the Ravens’ wonderful O-line. The game will also decide the MVP candidate between Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.

Both quarterbacks broke NFL records. While the Ravens QB became the first NFL QB with 4000 passing and 800 rushing yards, the Bills QB became the first QB to score 3 passing and 3 rushing TDs in the same game. It would also be a test of their abilities as a dual-threat signal caller.

Josh Allen warns Ravens ahead of the divisional clash

In their only regular season matchup in week 4, the Ravens outsmarted the Bills by far. But Josh Allen isn’t taking a hit on his confidence and warned the Ravens, “I think we’ve grown quite a bit since that game. Learned a lot from those moments.” Everyone knows the open secret.

Apart from Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry will make all the difference. In the week 4 game, the Bills had 23 rushes for 81 yards and 1 TD, but Henry alone recorded 24 rushes for 199 yards and 1 TD. They finished the game with 34 rushes for 271 yards and 2 TDs. So, the defense needs to stop their O-line.

On the other hand, the Ravens’ defense had a man-to-man marking scheme. While Jackson had 13 of 18 passes in 156 passing yards with 2 TDs, Allen’s accuracy took a hit, with 16 of 29 passes in 182 yards without any TD. But both teams have toppled rivals. So, expect it to be a nail-biting matchup.
