The Josh Allen-led Buffalo Bills aiming for AFC Championship

It’s not been an easy journey to the NFL Divisional Playoff Round for Josh Allen and the Bills. They started their campaign with a strong run with dipped midway through the season.

However, coach McDermott did enough to guide the Bills to their first AFC East title since 1996. Allen threw for 300+ yards with 2 passing touchdowns as the Bills beat the Colts in the Wild Card Playoffs. He further rushed for 54 yards with 1 rushing TD.

He will be the Bills’ main player on Saturday, along with experienced WR Stefon Diggs. The likes of Gabriel Davis and Cole Beasley will also be crucial for the home team this weekend.

But the major onus will remain on the Bills defense who will be tasked with stopping reigning NFL MVP, Lamar Jackson. Bills fans will be hopeful that defensive stars Jordan Poyer, AJ Epenesa, Tre’Davious White will step up if DE Darryl Johnson fails to make it to the matchday squad.

Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens looking to silence critics

John Harbaugh’s Baltimore Ravens had an inconsistent start to their 2020 NFL campaign. The AFC North big boys made a strong point in the Wild Card Playoffs by beating the Titans with a 13-20 scoreline. Jackson, in particular, impressed last weekend.

The former Heisman Trophy winner rushed for 49 yards to score the second-longest touchdown in NFL Playoffs history, behind Colin Kaepernick.

But credit must be given to the Ravens defense, who did just about enough to stop Ryan Tannehill and the dangerous Derrick Henry.

They will now be up against another strong offensive team in the form of Josh Allen and the Bills. Diggs was the league leader for the regular season in receiving yards.

On 6 receptions, Stefon had 128 receiving yards and 1 TD in the win over the Colts last weekend. Marcus Peters, Calais Campbell, Patrick Queen, and Marlon Humphrey will be the deciding factors in tomorrow’s game.
