Ravens vs. Bills score, live updates: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson go head-to-head as Baltimore visits Buffalo in divisional round

On By Littum

NFL planners have really outdone themselves this time, playing up what could be a legendary matchup between two of the league’s best quarterbacks. Whoever wins Sunday night — Josh Allen’s Buffalo Bills or Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens — will advance to next weekend’s AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs. That would give the winning superstar QB a shot at a first Super Bowl.

The narrative of the bond of these two this season is sensational:

Allen’s Bills finished the regular season 13-4, while Jackson’s Ravens went 12-5, with Baltimore cruising to a 35-10 win over Buffalo in Week 4. Derrick Henry was the star of the show that night in Baltimore, rushing for 199 yards and two scores.

Snow showers are possible with temperatures in the upper teens in the forecast for Sunday night’s matchup.

Live49 updates

  • Bills opt for field goal attempt, take eight point lead on 21-yard field goal

    3:29 left. Baltimore has one timeout and is down eight. They have turned the ball over three times and had knelt down on the last possession before the break. They haven’t punted yet, and as it stands, it doesn’t look like they will punt in regulation. We have a chance for a BIG finish in Buffalo.

  • Bills facing 4th down at the 3-yard line

    Buffalo takes a timeout, up 24-19 with 3:31 left. Big decision coming up for Sean McDermott and the Bills.

  • Bills on the way

    Knocking on the door at the 10-yard line now, the Bills have gone 47 yards in eight plays after the turnover, bleeding the clock, which is now about four minutes.

  • Baltimore turns it around again!

    Disaster for the Ravens as Mark Andrews coughs up. Terrel Bernard on the field and the recovery, and the Bills now have a chance to get some distance in this game. A Buffalo touchdown would make it a two-possession game again – a tall order for the Ravens at this point in the 4th quarter.

  • Mark Andrews converts a 4th down on a QB sneak

    The Ravens’ tight end is their sneak specialist and keeps the drive alive in their own end on a BIG 4th down conversion right around the 10-minute mark.

  • It’s been a tough sledding for the two leading MVP candidates today

  • Tyler Bass from 51 yards

    And in some cold weather. It’s 17 degrees and the ball doesn’t carry that far in the cold temperatures. It’s now 24-19 with just over 12 minutes to play in the 4th quarter, and Baltimore has been a buzzsaw throughout the game over the offense’s last few drives down the field.

  • End 3rd quarter: Bills 21, Ravens 19

    Buffalo has a little momentum on offense heading into the 4th quarter with a couple of first downs on their current drive after doing very little on offense in the 3rd quarter. A quarter that was controlled by the Baltimore running game with 89 yards on the ground in just that quarter, outscoring the Bills 9-0 to get the game back to a one-score affair.

  • Derrick Henry punches it in for the Ravens from the 5

    Baltimore had 68 rushing yards on this drive, and now the Ravens are down by two at 21-19 after missing the two-point conversion attempt. Derrick Henry has 58 yards rushing in the 3rd quarter and the Ravens are up to 162 yards on the ground at 6.5 yards per carry. attempt.

  • Baltimore’s offensive line is in REAL SHAME

    They just move the Bills line off the ball. Justice Hill and Derrick Henry are breaking the bills right now.

  • Ravens get another stop

    After a Buffalo first down, the Ravens’ defense bent to stop on a close screen, and now the Baltimore offense will have a chance to go down and tie the game after a punt that goes for a touchback.

  • Justin Tucker makes it a one score game

    The 47-yard field goal is good, and that distance has been an unusual adventure for Baltimore in Tucker’s career. He was just 11-of-19 from 40 yards or longer this season. A bad season by the NFL’s all-time leader in field goal accuracy.

  • Jackson finds Andrews on a 3rd and 5

    A big deep breath for the Ravens to pick up the 3rd down in Buffalo territory. The Ravens need a touchdown on this drive.

  • Raven gets a critical early stop

    A quick 3-and-out is a HUGE win for the Baltimore defense, which gave up touchdowns in the first half. Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore rushing offense got going late in the first half and are averaging nearly five yards per carry. rush. There is plenty of time left in the game, and the rushing offense no. 1 in the NFL still has time to lean on his bell cow running back and MVP quarterback on the ground behind one of the best offensive lines in football

  • Buffalo opens the second half with the ball

    Josh Allen was 5-for-7 shooting the ball in the first half and the Ravens out-gained the Bills, but turnovers loomed large and contributed to the 11-point lead.

  • End of first half: Bills 21, Ravens 10

    Buffalo keeps Baltimore from getting into the end zone on a goal-to-go situation, and the two turnovers are the difference. Baltimore hasn’t shot, and has moved the ball, even on the two drives that ended in turnovers. The Bills are in GREAT shape though with an 11-point lead and received the second half kickoff.

  • Josh Allen bulldozes his way into the end zone for a touchdown

    It’s his second rushing TD of the day, and this one was a beauty. A semi-single-wing game – for the old football players among us … or for a younger crowd, something we used to see with Tim Tebow back in his college days in Gainesville. What an advantage when your quarterback can moonlight as a fullback.

  • Huge pass interference call on Tre’Davious White against Keon Coleman

    That gets Buffalo inside the red zone with just over a minute to play.

  • This first half has flown by

    Kickoff was just after 6:30 ET, and at 7:45 PM ET we’re already at the two-minute warning.

  • Ravens stop inside the 10 and Justin Tucker makes it 14-10

    Definitely a win for the Bills defense after facing a 1st and goal inside the 5. Baltimore has missed some opportunities, just getting three on this drive and turning it over twice, but they have made a couple of big plays in the passing game and running game are also starting to roll.
