Will they ever make it to a Superbowl showdown? More crucially, can Lamar Jackson lead them to victory as their star player? Ravens fans are all too familiar with losses chiefly due to turnovers, a recurring theme for the team. Jackson and the Ravens have faced the Bills twice in playoff scenarios, losing both encounters. In the 2024-25 divisional playoff round, the Ravens crumbled under pressure, particularly Mark Andrews, who missed a crucial opportunity to level the score.
Questions loom about the Ravens’ future: Should they make minor trades? Overhaul the team (unlikely)? Or perhaps make changes to the coaching team? The Ravens certainly need to address issues with their offensive line, edge, and cornerbacks. According to Lamar Jackson, improving player protection is essential for reducing turnovers and enhancing pass accuracy.
In their 2024-25 postseason match against the Bills, the Ravens were defeated 27-25, largely due to three turnovers. Jackson threw an interception and was sacked, while Mark Andrews fumbled and missed a critical two-point conversion. The Bills had an 11-point lead at halftime, which proved insurmountable for the Ravens.
After the game, Jackson voiced his frustration, stating, “We can’t have that. We’re moving the ball well, but we need to hold onto it. Sorry for the language, but it’s frustrating.” Jackson ended the game with 254 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, and one sack. Josh Allen recorded two rushing touchdowns, was sacked once, and threw for 127 yards.
Both quarterbacks performed well, but Allen edged out Jackson by avoiding interceptions. The Bills now face the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Conference Championship. The Chiefs aim for an unprecedented three-peat, while the Bills, with a victory, could secure their first Superbowl under Josh Allen’s leadership.
