Buffalo Bills: Top plays from win over Baltimore Ravens in Divisional Round
There wasn’t much scoring in the game on Saturday night between the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens. In fact, there was only one offensive touchdown scored by either team, which was a short pass from Josh Allen to Stefon Diggs.
That doesn’t mean there wasn’t some highlight reel plays from the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round. These are some of the top plays from the game against the Ravens.
Taron Johnson with the Play of the Game for the Buffalo Bills
There is no question that the play of the game for the Buffalo Bills was by Taron Johnson when he picked off Lamar Jackson in the end zone and went over 100 yards for a touchdown of his own.
This play came at a pivotal point in the game as the Buffalo Bills on the prior drive had driven down the field to score a touchdown and go up 10-3. The Ravens seemed to poised to answer with a touchdown of their own before Johnson made the play he did.
This was the second interception Taron Johnson has returned for a touchdown as he did it against the Pittsburgh Steelers during the regular season. That game had a similar game script as the Bills were in a defensive struggle and the touchdown by Johnson gave the Bills the momentum they needed to secure the win.
Josh Allen shows off his athletic ability
This was not the best performance by Josh Allen this season but that doesn’t mean he didn’t have a few highlight-type throws against the Ravens. This was one of those plays.
The Ravens had started to get pressure and as Allen tried to escape the pocket, he slipped on the turf. However, he was able to get back up before being touched and rolling to his right found John Brown on the sideline, who made a sliding catch along the sideline for a first down.
This was not John Brown’s only sideline catch as he made a couple of other during the course of the game where he was able to drag his feet and stay in bounds. This was one of Brown’s best games of the season against his former team.
Jerry Hughes with another big playoff performance
Last year, Jerry Hughes had his best game of the season with three sacks against the Houston Texans. This year, Hughes had another big performance in a playoff game as he had two sacks against the Baltimore Ravens.
One of those sacks is below as the right tackle passes him to Patrick Ricard, which is a mismatch, and Hughes is able to take advantage and get to Jackson.
Jerry Hughes has been with this franchise the longest and has seen the ups and downs over his eight seasons with the Bills. He is showing with his play in the biggest games why he is one of the leaders of this defense.
