When the stars align just about perfectly, that’s an ultimate satisfaction. But for the football fanatics it’s not that complicated… You see, Saturday’s clash was a textbook Ravens masterclass. Lamar Jackson and company knocked off the Steelers, 28-14, marching on to the next one in the playoffs. But the football gods decided to complete the story on Sunday. Enter Josh Allen and the Bills, who dismantled the Broncos with a no-nonsense 31-7 win. It was like watching a team on autopilot, clinching their fifth straight Divisional Round appearance.
The cherry on the cake is the Allen vs. Lamar, the MVP showdown that we all deserve…
Now, we have gotten ourselves the ultimate MVP face-off. Lamar Jackson vs. Josh Allen. Speed vs. power. The dynamic vs. the dominant. Two quarterbacks at the peak of their game, ready to battle it out for a shot at glory. Who’s your pick? Better yet, how do you even pick between these two?
Allen is not letting this one slide: “They got after us earlier this year… But I’ll be watching their defense this week, so that’s our focus,” he said, reflecting on the September loss to Baltimore. The L where the Ravens D kept him quiet to 180 YDs and even a fuble.
“We got a lot of film to watch. It’s a great team, it’s a great quarterback, obviously, with Lamar. What he’s able to do—he’s one of the most dynamic, if not the most dynamic, quarterback in the league.” He’s not wrong. Watching Lamar is like seeing a video game character come to life.

If you’re a Ravens fan, you’re probably still replaying that 35-10 beat down in your head. Typical Purple Pain… Lamar was electric, tossing two touchdown passes, running in another, and watching Derrick Henry torch the Bills with a casual 199 rushing yards was the killer-blow. Oh, and let’s not forget that 87-yard touchdown sprint that left the Bills’ defense gasping for air. It wasn’t just a win; it was a statement.
So here we are again. The rematch. The stakes are higher, the spotlight brighter. Can Allen flip the script this time? Or will Lamar and the Ravens rewrite the narrative? Either way, get your popcorn ready. This is the kind of matchup that makes January football unforgettable. So, staying far away from injuries would be key, especially for Allen!
Josh Allen can’t afford to catch strays
Let’s set the record straight—Josh Allen isn’t out here catching stray shots, especially not from any of us (or anyone). No one is that naive. The guy’s MVP material, no question. But Sunday’s game against the Broncos came with a chipped nail. Yep, Allen played through the pain of a thumb injury. And no, this isn’t about booking a manicure. When asked if he’d need one postgame, Allen shrugged it off with, “It’s good. Just got a little blood there. It’s fine.” Casual, right?
If you caught the CBS broadcast, you saw it—Allen heading to the sideline mid-game, his thumb looking more like it had survived a bar fight than a football hit. Denver’s LB Nik Bonito landed a shot, and next thing we know, Allen’s ripping off part of the nail on his throwing hand. Now, cue the bloody drama and a trainer applying glue like it’s an arts-and-crafts project.
