The Buffalo Bills beat the Baltimore Ravens 27-25 in a dramatic AFC Divisional Round game Sunday night at Highmark Stadium in New York under freezing conditions and a very hyped crowd that showed their support for superstar quarterback Josh Allen and the rest of the Bills.
Allen had a great game in which he registered 16 completions and 22 attempts for 127 passing yards and two rushing touchdowns. The former Wyoming Cowboys standout has now posted 30 touchdowns in 12 postseason games, tied for the second-fastest player to reach that mark (St. Louis Rams and Arizona Cardinals icon Kurt Warner’s first).
Put some respect on his name! Buffalo Bills’ Dion Dawkins demands the MVP for his quarterback Josh Allen
The Bills now have a chance to prove to the rest of the NFL that they are ready to beat Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs on the AFC Championship game next Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.

Bills tackle demands the MVP for Josh Allen
Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins talked to the media after the win and stated that his quarterback Josh Allen is the true Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the 2024-2025 season, dissing Lamar Jackson on the way, who’s considered the favorite to win the prestigious award.
“The big boys up front, we did it, both defense and offense. Josh Allen is the MVP. I’m tired of all the bickering and talk. Josh Allen is the MVP. The Buffalo Bills are one step closer, we have not done nothing yet. We still got to finish but we’re that much closer, and I’m thankful.” Dawkins stated.
The player went on to say that the Buffalo Bills have seen what the media has said about them as a team, in regards of being a squad that’s “easy to beat” and that their rivals don’t need a very elaborate plan to take them down “we’ve respected that, we are very respectful players, they are (the Baltimore Ravens) a good team, they are a very good team.”
Dawkins went on to say that the Bills are ready to face the Kansas City Chiefs, a team they beat on Week 11 of the regular season 30-21 at Highmark Stadium but now they are going to travel to Arrowhead Stadium. Buffalo and Josh Allen are 0-3 against the Chiefs on the playoffs.
“It doesn’t matter, we’re starting from scratch. We are going to see who ends up with the win next week. If you’re not watching (the game), I don’t know what you’re doing. If you’re not watching Josh Allen being protected by Dion Dawkins and the O-line, what are you doing?”.
Discipline played a big part on the Bills’ win
The Buffalo Bills benefited most in Sunday’s win by playing mistake-free football. Buffalo hasn’t turned the ball over through two games this postseason. The Bills recorded its 12th game this season without a turnover, which is the most in a season in NFL history (regular & postseason).
“It’s big. Our guys get a chance to watch some of these playoff games, because we played the last two Sundays, and so you’re able to watch some of the games before our games and you’re seeing games decided rather quickly when the ball is not taken care of,” head coach Sean McDermott said.
Buffalo was also the more disciplined team, committing just one penalty which was a holding call against Dion Dawkins in the first half.
