Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are set to share the field for the first time in almost two years, and both the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens are gearing up for another exciting matchup.
“I am just grateful to be a part of it and to be around it,” said Baltimore coach John Harbaugh. “These are the things that you’re going to look back on and you’re going to say, ‘Wow, wasn’t that cool to be there for that?’”
The unbeaten Bills and the Ravens will renew their rivalry on Sunday night, with both teams aiming to challenge the back-to-back Super Bowl champion Kansas City. The Bills are off to a strong 3-0 start, making Allen an early favorite for league MVP, while Jackson’s Ravens are looking to bounce back after a 1-2 start.
This game offers both top quarterbacks a chance to shine and silence their critics.
“I don’t think anybody thought that — maybe other than the people in our buildings — thought that we’d still be playing right now,” Allen said, calling Jackson an inspiration. “Love watching him play because every play is never dead with him.
He’s got a crazy ability to keep plays alive and make guys miss and then get the ball downfield, so he’s a special player.”
Jackson, a two-time MVP, has rushed for 254 yards, the highest for any quarterback in the first three games of the season. He is now teamed up with Derrick Henry, who ran for 151 yards last week to help the Ravens win against Dallas 28-25.
Despite the Ravens losing their first two games, Bills linebacker Von Miller believes the combination of Jackson and Henry is quite formidable.
