Following the Buffalo Bills’ 27-25 victory over the Baltimore Ravens to advance to the AFC Championship game, Josh Allen made sure he had some words to say about Lamar Jackson.
With 38 seconds left in the game, the Buffalo Bills signal-caller kneeled the ball down one last time to secure a hard-fought 27-25 win over the Ravens in the AFC divisional round game.
Immediately afterward, Allen ran straight to the Ravens’ sideline to greet Lamar Jackson. The two players embraced and shared a few seconds as they hugged and spoke words of admiration to each other.
After the game, Josh Allen had nothing but nice things to say about the potential MVP.
“I’ve just got so much respect for him, the way he plays the game, he’s a true competitor, a true football player,” Allen said after the game. “One of the greatest to ever step on the football field. So, nothing but love.”

Josh Allen Has Another Chance To Take Down The Chiefs
It’s all on the line next week.
Josh Allen and the Bills survived against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. Next up is a meeting with Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills renew what is fast becoming the best rivalry in the NFL Playoffs when they square off in the AFC Championship.
At this point, it has been a one-sided affair as the Chiefs have won the previous three playoff matchups.
Allen can get that monkey off his back if he can deliver a huge victory.
