Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen ran for two touchdowns, leading his team to a 27-25 victory over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC divisional round on Sunday. The win sets up a showdown with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game next Sunday.
Allen scored on runs of 1 yard and 4 yards, while tight end Mark Andrews had two turnovers, including a dropped pass on a 2-point conversion attempt that could have tied the score. The Ravens’ struggles with turnovers continued, as they turned the ball over three times in the loss.
The Bills dominated the game’s final drive, with quarterback Tyler Bass hitting both field goal attempts, including a 21-yarder with 3:29 left on the clock. The drive was set up by the Ravens’ third turnover, which saw linebacker Terrel Bernard strip the ball from Andrews at Buffalo’s 44-yard line.
The win marks the Bills’ 10th consecutive home victory and sets up a high-stakes matchup against the Chiefs in Kansas City next Sunday. The Bills finished the regular season with a league-best plus-24 turnover differential, and Allen said his team was driven by internal motivation rather than external noise.
“We’re excited,” Allen said. “We don’t listen to the outside noise. Our guys continue to work hard.”
The Ravens fell short of reaching the conference title game for the second year in a row, with quarterback Lamar Jackson falling to 3-5 in the postseason. The Chiefs advanced to the AFC Championship Game on Saturday, where they will face off against Mahomes and the Bills next Sunday.
