In a game that’ll be talked about for years, Josh Allen rushed for two touchdowns, Buffalo’s defense forced three Baltimore turnovers, and the Bills advanced to the AFC championship game with a 27-25 win over the Ravens in the divisional round on Sunday night.

Lamar Jackson drove the Ravens down the field and was within a two-point conversion of tying things up when a wide-open Mark Andrews dropped a 2-point conversion pass from Lamar Jackson, allowing the ball to bounce off his chest with 1:33 left.
