Ravens vs Bills live online: score, stats an highlights | AFC Divisional Round

With the game and the season on the line, Jackson went to his favorite target and had Mark Andrews open at the pylon but the veteran receiver couldn't come up with the catch and that ended the Ravens hopes of a trip to the AFC title game and beyond.
Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are now heading back to the Conference Championship for the first time since the 2020 season. They know to get to the Super Bowl they are going to need to get through the two time defending champions and that's what they will try to do next week in Kansas City.
Needing a touchdown and a two point conversion to save the season, the two time MVP of the NFL, Lamar Jackson, led his team down the field and into the end zone with a two minute drill that left the game depending on a two point conversion. Jackson went 18/25 with 254 yards, 2 TDs but his INT and fumble cost his team big in the first half. He looked to make amends with this 24 yard strike to Isaiah Likely, but it wasn't quite enough.
The Bills drove right down the field after the Andrews fumble, but Baltimore's defense came up with a big stop to keep Allen out of the end zone and limit Buffalo to a field goal to keep the Ravens in the game. Allen didn't do too much passing in the game. He was just 16/22 for 127 yards, but when the weather didn't allow him to take over with his arm he did so with his legs.
Veteran tight end and one of the most reliable guys on the Ravens team had a nightmare game on Sunday in Buffalo. Baltimore had a chance to take the lead down by five midway through the fourth quarter, and Jackson looked to have hit him for a big gain but Andrews was stripped by Terrel Bernard as the defense forced the third turnover of the game.
After running down the field with Henry and Justice the Ravens tried to throw on the two point conversion and Jackson's pass was broken up by the Bills defense.
The Ravens came out of the halftime break looking like they had turned things around. They forced a three and out to start the third quarter, scored a field goal and then stopped the Bills on their second drive of the half. That led to Derrick Henry and Justice Hill carrying Baltimore down the field combining for almost 70 yards before Henry punched it in from 5 yards out to close the gap to two.
The Ravens would chip into the lead with a field goal late in the first half, but right before the break, the Allen led his team down the field and punched it into the end zone on a 3rd and 2 play from the five. The Bills got inside the 10 in part because of a PI call on the Ravens a few plays before this TD, and Allen was there to add to the lead in the final seconds of the half.
Four plays later, Allen was lining up under center for a tush push that gave the Bills a lead they wouldn't give up. The Bills ran for 147 yards on 36 carries and everytime they needed a first down or TD on a short yardage situation Allen was there to QB sneak it for a new set of downs or for six points.
On the Ravens' next possession, Jackson and the offense were driving down the field, but Damar Hamlin got a hold of the QB after a high snap and the ball broke free. Von Miller was there to scoop it and take it deep into BAL territory. This mistake would turn into points for the Bills.
Lamar Jackson and the offense would slow down after the opening drive TD and the Bills defense would force a few mistakes from the two time MVP. The first one came on this pass that was over thrown and picked off by Taylor Rapp. Jackson had heard the critics doubt his performances in big games, and he made a couple mistakes that cost his team early. The Bills didn't score from this turnover, but it interrupted some of the momentum they had after that first TD.
The Bills would answer on their first drive of the game, but they needed a Josh Allen conversion on fourth down that stretched the drive and set up this Ray Davis TD. The Bills used a run heavy attack to neutralize the Ravens offense and keep their MVP candidate on the field.
The Buffalo Bills are heading back to the AFC Championship after beating the Baltimore Ravens on a snowy, frigid night from Orchard Park. Josh Allen had two rushing touchdowns to carry his team past the Ravens and edge fellow MVP candidate Lamar Jackson in the 27-25 win.
The Ravens got off to a quick start as Jackson marched the Ravens down the field with a few big pass plays. The would finds Rashod Bateman in the end zone to take the first and only lead they would have in Buffalo on Sunday night.

WE ARE BACK IN BUFFALO FOR THE FINAL HALF OF ACTION!!!
Right before the halftime break, the Ravens were called for a pass interference on a third down play which put the Bills at the 12 and a few plays later Allen punched it in for his second rushing TD of the night.
Jackson had 123 yards on 6/10 passing and had his team knocking on the door after this strike to Rashon Bateman which put the Ravens at the 2 yard line. Baltimore would only feed Derrick Henry once from there and would have to settle for a field goal. Henry has just 21 yards on 8 rushes while Jackson is the leading rusher with 31 yards on the ground.
Allen hasn't thrown the ball much on a frigid night in Buffalo. He has thrown just seven passes, completed five of them for 69 yards, and he has another 15 yards and two TDs on the ground.
The Bills couldn't do anything with the possession following the pick, but Von Miller made another big play, scooping and almost taking this fumble recovery for six after Jackson got stripped.
Lamar Jackson has heard all the criticism and he wanted to silence those doubters, but he has two big turnovers that have turned the tides through thirty minutes.
The Bills responded with a long drive, that needed a fourth down conversion from Allen to set up Davis who scored Buffalo's opening TD of the night.

Eagles moving on
The Philadelphia Eagles survived a late comeback bid from Matthew Stafford and the Rams but held on for the win in a snowy Lincoln Financial Field. They will take on the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship. There is just one more spot up for grabs in next weeks' Conference Title Weekend, that spot will go to the winner of tonight's game from Orchard Park.
No Flowers for Ravens
For the second straight week, Lamar Jackson will be with out his top target Zay Flowers. The WR injured his knee in Week 18, and missed last week's game against the Steelers but there was a slight chance he would play tonight in Buffalo. After missing all week of practice, the Ravens officially ruled him out for tonight's massive match up in Orchard Park.
Previous matchup
These two teams met earlier in the season and it was the Ravens who jumped all over the Bills in the Week 4 matchup. Derrick Henry took over the game and ran through the Bills defense, piling up 199 yards and one TD on the ground and a second TD receiving. Baltimore led 21-7 at the half but Buffalo came out and tightened the game with a Ty Johnshon TD run, but Jackson stretched the lead back out with a TD run in the third quarter and Patrick Ricard jumped on a Derrick Henry fumble in the end zone to cap the game from M&T Bank Stadium.

MVP Odds
Taking a look at the NFL Odds heading into this final match up of the Divisional Round, we see Josh Allen is the favorite to win his first Most Valuable Player award after what has been arguably his best season ever. He is the odds on favorite to win the MVP at -250 while Lamar Jackson is set at +185 according to the experts at MGM. If Allen wins it would be his first in a Hall of Fame career. If Jackson wins, it will be his third overall and he will join 6 other NFL legends as the only players to win back to back MVPs in the history of the league. The last one to do so was Aaron Rodgers in the 2020 season and the 2021 season.
Star watch: Bills
Josh Allen is having the best season of his career. Maybe not in terms of TDs of yards, but his decision making, his game managing and his big play ability has been unmatched. He threw for 3,731 yards and 28 TDs, which are respectable numbers but where he has excelled the most was his interceptions. He threw just 6 picks all season long and added another 12 TDs on the ground. The city of Buffalo and the Bills live and die on the performance of Josh Allen and he knows that if they are going to win tonight he is going to have one of the best games of his career.
Star watch: Ravens
Derrick Henry might have been the missing piece to the puzzle in Baltimore, but this game is all about the quarterbacks. Two MVP candidates going head to head in a do or die game. Lamar Jackson has proven since he got to the league that he isn’t just an elite runner, but an elite passer and this year he flirted with history. He passed for over 4,000 yards and ran for almost 1,000 yards in a season that he broke the career rushing record for QBs. He has had the burden lightened with the inclusion of Henry to the backfield, but that has only bolstered his numbers while keeping him out of harms way.
Season recap: Bills
The Bills revamped their offense over the offseason and we weren’t sure how the new look team would play after the Super Bowl window seemingly closed in Buffalo. That couldn’t be farther from the truth after 18 weeks of the regular season. They won their first three games to send out warnings shots to the rest of the league. A two game losing streak to the Ravens and the Texans threw the revamp into question, but Allen carried his crew out of a rut and led them to six straight wins. They next time they lost was a shootout in LA to the Rams, but they rebounded by handing the Lions a loss the next week and clinched the AFC East for yet another year. Now Allen and the Bills are looking to get this franchise where they haven’t been since the 90s, but they got a tough game in front of them before they start looking at the Chiefs in the AFC Championship.
Season recap: Ravens
The Ravens had a deep playoff run in mind coming into this season after falling just short of the Super Bowl last year. They started Week 1 with a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship in KC, but lost that game by a toe. Then they lost an inexplicable game to the Raiders before straightening the ship winning seven of their next eight including a win over the Bills in Baltimore. A loss to the Steelers in their first match up of the game complicated their division chances, but Pittsburgh had a late season collapse and the Ravens rattled off four straight wins to end the season to wrap up the AFC North and get the three seed in the conference. Now it’s time for Lamar Jackson to show he can not just get to the big games, but he can win them.
Last game: Bills
The Bills welcomed rookie QB Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos who came out swinging, landing an early blow on a long TD pass from Nix, but that was the last of the Broncos scoring. Josh Allen and James Cook kicked into gear scoring 31 straight points. It was close at the halftime break, as Buffalo led 10-7, but a couple of TD passes from Allen stretched the lead to 28-7 and the defense would close the door on the Broncos as Buffalo got back to the Divisional round for the fifth straight year.
Last game: Ravens
The Ravens hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers in their match up between AFC North rivals and Baltimore dominated from start to finish. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens went up 21-0 in the first half after the two time MVP tossed two TDs and Derrick Henry got into the end zone as the defense dominated the Russell Wilson and the Steelers offense. Pittsburgh would finally get into the end zone after the halftime break but Henry broke free for a 44 yard run a few plays later to squash and comeback thoughts Pittsburgh might have had. Jackson had 175 yards and 2 TDs but last week’s game was all about Derrick Henry who went for 186 yards and two TDs on 26 carries to earn the Ravens a chance to play in Buffalo tonight.
We are live from Orchard Park
Hello everyone and welcome to a frigid Buffalo, New York where the Bills are back in town and looking to get back to the AFC Championship but they know they will face one of their toughest tests of the season. The Bills got the two seed and home field until at least the conference title game after their four loss season, but one of those losses came at the hands of the Ravens, who blew them out early in the season. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens have the best team and best chance to get to the Super Bowl that they have had in this era, but to get there they know it’s going to be a tough path. First they have to beat the Bills in Buffalo, and then they will have to go to KC and beat the Chiefs if they win tonight.
