Tre’Davious White isn’t overthinking his return to Buffalo. Derrick Henry’s stiff-arms have inspired Isaiah Likely. John Harbaugh likes his team’s mentality headed to Buffalo.

Let’s be honest. The reason the Bills and Ravens were put in the coveted “Sunday Night Football” time slot in the Divisional round? It’s all about quarterbacks Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, the two favorites for the 2024 NFL MVP Award. Both teams in Buffalo and Baltimore will be asked about the QB they’re slated to face this upcoming weekend.

The Ravens stomped the Steelers last week 28-14 in the Wild Card to advance to the most highly-touted matchup of the weekend. The Ravens trashed Buffalo 35-10 earlier in the season in Baltimore. Derrick Henry had 199 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while Lamar Jackson totaled three scores.

Here’s how The Baltimore Sun sports staff views the outcome of Sunday’s AFC divisional round game between the No. 3 seed Ravens (12-5) and No. 2 Bills (13-4) at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York:

As much as Zach Orr shook things up, the one thing that didn’t change was the man himself. That didn’t go unnoticed by his players.

Every story line: from the Chiefs’ quest for a three-peat, to the long-suffering Bills’ and Lions’ fan bases, to the QBs looking to finally break through.

Will Zay Flowers play against the Bills? How concerning are the Steelers’ two long touchdowns? Are the captain patches permanent?

The team with the best road winning percentage in postseason history will be on the road to face the team with the best home winning percentage this weekend.

The Ravens were successful in almost every phase in beating the Pittsburgh Steelers, 28-14, in Saturday night’s AFC wild-card game, but pass coverage in the secondary is still a primary concern. Pittsburgh had touchdowns passes of 30 and 36 yards in the third quarter to pull within two scores with 3:24 remaining in the third quarter at M&T Bank Stadium.

Baltimore's defense has significantly improved since its early season struggles, but slowing Buffalo on its home field will be no easy task.

With leading receiver Zay Flowers out with a knee injury, Baltimore can't forget about the All-Pro it has in the backfield vs. Pittsburgh.
