The Ravens went with a heavy run strategy against the Steelers in the Wild Card round, but having Flowers back would add another dimension to the offense that would help them potentially keep up with a high-powered Bills offense on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Flowers caught four touchdowns and recorded 1,059 yards for the Ravens this season, leading the team in receiving, while Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson are a dynamic duo on the ground. Without Flowers, Baltimore would be leaning a lot on Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose flex w-full flex-col gap-2 divide-y divide-solid divide-[#58585820] bg-[#FAFAFA] px-4 pt-5\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-between\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col\">\n<article class=\"article-body prose max-w-none pb-7 pt-5 prose-figure:max-w-full prose-ol:pl-10 prose-img:max-w-full prose-video:max-w-full md:prose-ol:pl-6 [&amp;_iframe]:m-auto [&amp;_iframe]:block [&amp;_iframe]:max-w-full\">Earlier this season, the Ravens beat the Bills by the score of 35-10 on Sunday Night Football in Week 4. It has been a long time since then, and this game will be in Buffalo, as opposed to the last matchup, which took place in Baltimore.<\/p>\n<p>The Ravens and Bills are two teams who are looking to get over the hump in the AFC. Neither has been to the Super Bowl with their quarterbacks at the helm, despite Jackson and Josh Allen being MVP-caliber players. The winner of this matchup will either go on the road in the AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs, or host the Houston Texans.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,120193976\/AdThrive_Content_2\/5e90daf19f500876e949a3d9_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>These next few weeks could be defining moments in the career of Jackson, and hopefully he will have his top option in Flowers on the field for this week.
