Lamar Jackson entered the Divisional round knowing a Super Bowl is possible this season. However, the Baltimore Ravens were facing a tough task of taking on the Buffalo Bills in extreme cold and the Bills Mafia playing their part in making the environment tough.
The game, though, did not turn out as expected. Lamar Jackson overthrew a ball in the first quarter that was intercepted, but thankfully the Bills could not score from that turnover. However, on the next drive, the two-time league MVP fumbled the ball as he was sacked by Damar Hamlin.
This time, the turnover ended, costing them as Josh Allen ran in to help his team take the lead. On the next drive, it was Derrick Henry‘s turn, who could not hold on to a throw near the goal line. Then, in the fourth quarter, it was Mark Andrews.
He too could not hold on to the ball, and the Bills increased the lead to eight points. The Ravens brought the deficit down to two, but Andrews’ goal line fumble was the final nail.

The star quarterback critiqued his own mistakes, saying that he tried to do too much. He acknowledged that those turnovers did play a factor. He knew Mark Andrews’ one’s hurt the most, but he clarified that as a team they did not take care of the ball.

After Mark Andrews’ goal line fumble, there was still one and a half minutes left. With that in mind, Justin Tucker was sent out to try an onside kick. However, the ball went straight into the hands of Buffalo Bills cornerback Rasul Douglas, who held on to the ball.
All the Ravens personnel knew the game was all but over. Then the Bills ran the ball once and then Josh Allen kneeled to take time off the clock. Another QB kneel at the 38 second mark, and there was no more chance. With the score standing at 27-25, Allen turned around to pump up the Bills Mafia with the game ball in his hands.
