Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen Part IV
On a frigid night at Highmark Stadium, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills defeated Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens 27-25 in the divisional round, setting up another epic Bills-Chiefs showdown in the AFC championship. This will be the fourth meeting in the postseason between Allen and Patrick Mahomes, and if history is any indication, it’s going to be a thrilling matchup.
A Rivalry for the Ages
