Allen, who finished the game with a pair of rushing touchdowns, was among the first players to greet Jackson at midfield following the Bills’ 27-25 win. The two quarterbacks shared a hug, and Allen had words of encouragement for Jackson.

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.

The Baltimore Ravens faced a tough challenge on the road against Josh Allen, but after the game, the home quarterback sent a show of respect to Lamar Jackson, who put up a good performance. Josh Allen moves on to the next stage of the playoffs after eliminating the Baltimore Ravens at home in a game that got a bit tight toward the end.
