Josh Allen on the Bills playing the Ravens in the Divisional Round
“Well, they got after us earlier this year,” Allen said of facing the Ravens again. “So we’ve got a lot of film to watch. It’s a great team. It’s a great quarterback, obviously with Lamar and what he’s able to do. He’s one of the most dynamic, if not the most dynamic, quarterback in the league. He’s so fun to watch. But I’ll be watching their defense this week, so that’s our focus.”
“My dad’s proud. Jack Harbaugh’s proud right now. He likes to pound the rock,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “Derrick Henry was running hard, physical. Lamar started it off. Lamar carried the ball at different times in the first drive or two.”
Tampa Bay after their loss to Washington
The loss came four months after the Bucs ruined Daniels’ NFL debut with a 37-20 victory in the season opener.
“Obviously it’s disappointing. You don’t want the season to end like this. But we don’t point fingers,” Bowles said. “We had our chances to win, but obviously it wasn’t good enough.
“We think we have a very good football team when everybody’s clicking on all cylinders,” the Tampa Bay coach added. “The effort was outstanding. We hung together all year. We’ve been through some things. We’ve got to eat it, take it on the chin and get better in the future.”

Jayden Daniels on Winning and what’s Next
Daniels, playing with a bandage beneath his right eye after his face was bloodied, became the third rookie quarterback in three years to win a playoff game.
The Commanders (13-5) will face the No. 1 seed Detroit Lions (15-2) in the divisional round.
“It means a lot, man,” Daniels said. “You could just see all the fans over here, man, they’re waiting for us. They’ve waited a long time for this moment and this feeling, so I’m just so happy for them.”
