The Baltimore Ravens will hit the road for their biggest game of the season.
They will be in a hostile environment, both literally and figuratively, to take on the Buffalo Bills.
Buffalo’s blistering cold will make it difficult for both teams, but the visitors aren’t intimidated by that.
When asked about the game, veteran tight end Mark Andrews had one simple way to approach it (via Jonas Shaffer):
“This is three, four weeks for the rest of your life. Why not give it everything you got?”
That’s right on point, and that’s what you want to hear from your veterans.
The Ravens already dominated the Bills this season.
They were the only team that made Sean McDermott’s squad and Josh Allen look beatable this season, so they must feel very excited about this matchup.
Then again, the playoffs are a completely different thing.
Josh Allen has usually taken his game up a notch in the postseason; he just has happened to come across Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs repeatedly.
On the other hand, Lamar Jackson has struggled to be at his best after the regular season, and that has always been the narrative around him.
Given the tough weather conditions, taking care of the football will be crucial for both teams.
Chances are that James Cook and Derrick Henry will be heavily featured in the game plan.
This will be an old-school, must-watch game between two elite teams.
Even though the Ravens are slightly favored, it will be almost impossible to predict who will win this game.
