Capping the divisional round of the 2025 NFL playoffs, two superstar quarterbacks at the pinnacle of the MVP race will go head-to-head.

In what’s sure to be a thrilling matchup, Josh Allen and the Bills will host Lamar Jackson and the Ravens on Sunday night. Both teams came out of wild card weekend with relatively easy wins, setting up the rare instance of a playoff meeting between arguably the NFL’s top two quarterbacks right now.

Buffalo, which will host the game at Highmark Stadium as the AFC’s No. 2 seed, went 13-4 in the regular season prior to a 31-7 rout of the Broncos last week. As usual, the Bills’ success has been all about Josh Allen (3,731 passing yards, 531 rushing yards, 40 total touchdowns, six interceptions), who continues to make pinpoint throws look easy while leading one of the league’s top offenses.

The Bills have built a strong supporting cast around Allen as well, making Sean McDermott’s squad serious Super Bowl contenders should they advance past this game.

James Cook had a career year and headlines a strong run game. And Buffalo’s defense, which just held Denver to seven points in the wild card round, totaled 16 interceptions and 18 forced fumbles in the regular season. The AFC is a gauntlet, but there’s some reasons to believe the Bills have the strongest chance to represent the conference in Super Bowl 59.

Baltimore, a 12-5 team in the regular season and the No. 3 seed in the conference, presents a tough challenge, though. Even with two MVPs already to his name, Jackson (4,172 passing yards, 915 rushing yards, 45 total touchdowns, four interceptions) might have had his best season yet with star running back Derrick Henry by his side. The Ravens’ run game has become a true pick-your-poison scenario, with Henry capable of running right through a defense and Jackson a threat to take off at any time.

Some evidence of that dominance came just last week when Baltimore beat Pittsburgh, 28-14, in the wild-card round behind 299 team rushing yards. With Jackson also throwing the football at an elite level while avoiding turnovers and John Harbaugh’s defense allowing the fewest rushing yards per game (80.1) in the regular season, the Ravens have built a squad that also poses a serious title threat if it can win this road matchup.

The winner of this divisional game will advance to the AFC Championship Game, continuing their Super Bowl hopes for another week.
