The Baltimore Ravens’ season came to a gut-wrenching end Sunday night, falling 27-25 to the Buffalo Bills in a Divisional Round thriller. The loss, sealed by a costly dropped two-point conversion and a string of turnovers, left Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson visibly frustrated. Hours after the final whistle, his raw emotions spilled over in a fiery, expletive-laden rant during his postgame media availability.
Lamar Jackson Angry After Ravens’ Playoff Loss
“Turnovers. We can’t have that s**t. … Hold onto the f**king ball. I’m sorry for my language. This s**t is annoying. I’m tired of this s**t,” Jackson said, a moment of unfiltered honesty that captured the weight of Baltimore’s latest playoff disappointment.

The game ended in heartbreaking fashion for Baltimore when tight end Mark Andrews dropped a wide-open two-point conversion pass from Jackson with just 1:33 remaining. The play would have tied the game, but instead, the ball bounced off Andrews’ chest, and Buffalo’s offense sealed the win by running out the clock.
It wasn’t just Andrews’ drop, though, that sank Baltimore. The Ravens’ struggles were compounded by three turnovers, including a first-half fumble by Jackson that set up a key touchdown for the Bills. Buffalo’s defense, led by Von Miller and Matt Milano, consistently found ways to disrupt Baltimore’s offense.
For Baltimore, the loss extends a troubling playoff trend. Jackson, a two-time MVP, now holds a 3-5 postseason record, with turnovers becoming a recurring issue in critical moments.
Josh Allen Praises the Bills’ Effort
The Bills, meanwhile, played a clean game offensively and leaned on their resilient defense. Josh Allen rushed for two touchdowns, and Buffalo’s defense forced three turnovers, including a crucial fumble recovery by Von Miller in the second quarter that set up an Allen score.
In an on-field postgame interview after the big win, Allen praised his team’s collective effort. “How about that Buffalo Bills defense?” Allen said. “We’ve heard all year we’re not good enough to compete. We just put our head down and worked hard. I’m so proud of our defense, our offense, and our special teams. What a complete win.”
"All year this team has heard, 'We got no talent. We're too small. We can't stop the run. We're not good enough to compete.'

Bills Get Ready for 2020 AFC Championship Rematch
The victory sends Buffalo to the AFC Championship Game, where they’ll face the Kansas City Chiefs in a rematch of the 2020 AFC title game. The Bills have waited decades for another shot at the Super Bowl, last appearing in 1993 during their historic streak of four consecutive losses in the big game.
Can Buffalo exorcise its demons and make history, or will Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs prove insurmountable once again as they look to complete the first three-peat in NFL history?
