Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen had to lose. Allen played a cleaner game so he’s advancing with the Buffalo Bills to face Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City in the AFC championship game. The Bills had none in a 27-25 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.

Now, Allen’s Buffalo Bills will host Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens in what I would argue is statistically the greatest quarterback match-up in divisional playoff history . The greatest of what will be, after this weekend, 229 divisional playoff games in the Super Bowl era.

Both quarterbacks had their doubters leading up to the draft. Now, the AFC divisional round's winner will be within a game of a Super Bowl.
