Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson face off in prime time as the Bills and Ravens pursue Super Bowl aspirations
The spotlight shines brightly on two of the NFL’s brightest stars as Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson prepare to clash on “Sunday Night Football.” Both quarterbacks have etched their names into the league’s history by winning the last two MVP awards. The stakes are high as they embark on another quest for individual accolades and, more importantly, the coveted Lombardi Trophy.
A Rivalry Renewed
This matchup is more than just a game; it’s a continuation of a burgeoning rivalry. Allen and the Buffalo Bills will host Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens, with both teams eyeing a deeper run in the playoffs this season. The last time these teams met in the postseason, Buffalo narrowly eliminated Baltimore with a 27-25 victory in the AFC Divisional Round. While Allen has triumphed in both playoff encounters against Jackson, the regular-season battles have favored Jackson, adding an intriguing layer to their rivalry.
Super Bowl Contenders
Both franchises are considered frontrunners in the race for Super Bowl LX. Allen has led the Bills to the playoffs for six consecutive years, yet the franchise is still in search of its first championship. Conversely, Jackson has guided the Ravens to the playoffs in six of the last seven seasons, but Baltimore has yet to break through in the AFC. With fresh hopes for the upcoming season, this could be the year one of these teams finally captures that elusive title.
