The NFL might be saving its most intriguing Week 1 matchup for last. The Baltimore Ravens will travel to play the Buffalo Bills in primetime on Sunday night. The two teams squared off in the AFC Divisional Round of the playoffs last season and figure to be contenders in their conference this time.

What to Expect From Ravens-Bills Clash
In January, Josh Allen and the Bills squeaked past Lamar Jackson’s Ravens on a snow-dusted field, ending a run of three straight defeats at that stage of the postseason.
Allen passed for only 127 yards, but ran for a pair of touchdowns in the win. Baltimore tight end Mark Andrews bobbled a pass on a 2-point conversion with 1:33 left, ruining his side’s chance to knot the score up late after Isaiah Likely’s 24-yard touchdown grab.
Buffalo was downed by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs a week later, falling short of the Super Bowl.
The Bills and Ravens also crossed paths in Week 4 a campaign ago, with the latter trouncing the former 35-10. That contest serves as a prime example of how tides can change later in the season, but that doesn’t diminish the importance of this one.

Jackson was snubbed for a third Associated Press NFL MVP award last season, with that honor going to Allen instead. Jackson, however, was the first-team AP All-Pro team’s signal-caller.
For Baltimore, the Sunday Night Football matchup will provide an opportunity for the Ravens to exact some revenge on the team that eliminated them from the playoffs last winter. The Bills are aware there’s a playoff window, too, and they’ll want to get out to a good start.
If all goes to plan for the two sides, another crucial matchup could be in order a few months later in the campaign
