He also helped Buffalo give Patrick Mahomes and\u00a0Travis Kelce\u00a0their only loss of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Jackson had the Ravens finish at 12-5 and the No. 3 seed. Baltimore will be moving forward with a potential matchup with Allen and the Bills, assuming Buffalo defeats Denver.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the battle of the MVP candidates would be a fun won.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens secured their spot in the NFL playoffs Divisional Round after defeating Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers 28-14.
