In the most anticipated game of the 2024-2025 NFL season, the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills are set for a crash course collision on Sunday night.
The Bills played their worst game of the season on both sides of the ball back in Week 4 against the Ravens. That’s unlikely to happen a second time.
Von Miller was a menace against his former team. Buffalo had limited Miller’s snaps all season long, but he saw an uptick in snaps on Wild Card Weekend. Miller created five pressures on just 16 pass-rush snaps (20 total) in the win earning him an 81.2 pass rush grade. Buffalo needs this from Miller throughout the entirety of the playoffs.
The Ravens running back rushed for a season-high 199 yards in Week 4. But the Bills now have three key pieces back on defense.
That night in Baltimore, the Bills were 3-0 and playing with a little house money, while the Ravens, having lost their first two games including one in inexplicable fashion to the awful Raiders, were a somewhat desperate team looking to avoid falling into a 1-3 hole.

Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus has suggested that San Francisco 49ers' linebacker Dre Greenlaw could be a potential fit for Buffalo. "The Bills are projected to field around only $3 million in cap space going into next year, but there’s a chance they could land a player of Greenlaw’s caliber, given his injury history," Locker wrote.

Just his confidence continues to grow each and every week. If you look at it just holistically, it’s been a while since he’s played,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said.
