The Bills defense took the ball away three times while Josh Allen and the offense had success with a relatively conservative game plan, and Buffalo knocked off the Baltimore Ravens 27-25 in an AFC Divisional playoff Sunday night.

Lamar Jackson vs. Josh Allen: How Sunday's divisional playoff goes well beyond the QB match-up with guest Matt Simms Jan 17, 2025

Show notes

Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson were drafted on the same night back in 2018, and have evolved into two of the game's absolute elite that help define this generation at the position. The match-up between the two is the obvious headline heading into Sunday's divisional playoff between the Bills and Ravens. Having said that, the outcome will likely have more to do with how these rosters have been constructed. Former NFL quarterback Matt Simms, who was briefly with Buffalo in 2015, joined Adam and Sal for a game preview.

Raven Reviews: How the Bills can overcome the challenge of facing Baltimore - Jerry Ostroski joins Adam and Sal to preview divisional playoff Jan 15, 2025

Show notes

It seems so long ago, but the highlights have again surfaced this week of Baltimore's dominant 35-10 win over the Bills back in week four. So much has changed since then as they prepare for Sunday night's divisional playoff in Orchard Park. The Bills are much healthier on defense, and have evolved to a great degree on the offensive side. The Ravens present the challenge of dealing with the combo of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry on offense, and have improved greatly on defense, especially in the secondary during the season. Former Bills offensive lineman Jerry Ostroski joined Adam and Sal to preview the match-up from a player perspective.

Bills pull away for Wild Card win 31-7 over Broncos setting up Divisional round game against Ravens Jan 12, 2025

Show notes

After falling behind on an early Denver touchdown, the Bills reeled off 31 unanswered points to beat the Broncos 31-7 in an AFC Wild Card match-up Sunday in Orchard Park. Josh Allen threw for 272 yards and two touchdowns, while James Cook rushed for 120 yards on 23 carries, showing the tremendous offensive balance that's led to so much success this season. The Bills defense limited rookie QB Bo Nix and Denver went just 2 of 9 on third down which has been a problem area for Buffalo this season. The Bills advance to a highly anticipated Divisional Round game as they host Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens next week. Adam and Sal were live with postgame takes.

Broncos vs. Bills playoff preview with guest Tyler Sullivan of cbssports.com Jan 10, 2025

Show notes

Simply put it's a game the Bills should win. MVP favorite Josh Allen and the high powered Bills offense at home where they were undefeated during the regular season, and opposite him a rookie in Denver's Bo Nix. Denver's defense however, brings an added layer of talent and interest. They posted a franchise record 63 sacks this season. Tyler Sullivan is an NFL staff writer for cbssports.com, and joined Adam and Sal for a preview.
