The Baltimore Ravens had destroyed the Buffalo Bills at home in the 2024 regular season, highlighted by a dominant performance by Derrick Henry that at one point saw him flatten multiple defenders for an 87-yard touchdown rush.
But the vibe was different on Sunday. It was now the Divisional Round of the Playoffs, and Josh Allen and company had proven themselves the better team with a bevy of wins, including one of the Kansas City Chiefs' only two losses.
Could Lamar Jackson avenge his defeat in the 2020 Divisional Round and make the AFC Championship Game for the second straight time in his career?

Baltimore Ravens vs. Buffalo Bills game summary
The Ravens opened the game with a Rashod Bateman touchdown:
But Ray Davis did not take long to respond by rushing to the endzone, the the Bills seemingly got a major break when Taylor Rapp intercepted Lamar Jackson. However, they failed to capitalize, being forced to punt on that drive.
The Ravens sought to punish that, only for Damar Hamlin to sack Lamar Jackson off of a botched snap, allowing Von Miller to steal the ball. Josh Allen then promptly punished it with a sneak touchdown:
On the next drive, Justin Tucker hit the night's first field goal. But Allen rushed to the endzone yet again in response to end the first half:
The second half began with the Ravens forcing a punt on the Bills, which they punished with a field goal. Then they did it again and punished it with a Derrick Henry touchdown, only for Matt Milano to deflect the two-point throw to Isaiah Likely.
The Bills began the final quarter by scoring a field goal, then Terrel Bernard stole the ball from Mark Andrews on the next drive - a fumble that was eventually punished with a field goal.
Jackson found Isaiah Likely for six on the next drive, but once again the two pointer failed. An onside kick recovery by Rasul Douglas ended the game.
