Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are about to be on the same football field for the first time in nearly two years, and those around them with the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens are preparing for another classic. “I am just grateful to be a part of it and to be around it,” Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said. “These are the things that you’re going to look back on and you’re going to say, ‘Wow, wasn’t that cool to be there for that?'” Allen's unbeaten Bills and Jackson's Ravens renew a premier NFL rivalry Sunday night, with the AFC contenders still chasing back-to-back Super Bowl champion Kansas City and coming in off very different starts to the season.
Allen is the early favorite for league MVP honors with Buffalo at 3-0, while Jackson and Baltimore return home hoping to get on track after starting 1-2. It is another chance for the elite quarterbacks to put on a show and put another dent in their doubters. “I don’t think anybody thought that — maybe other than the people in our buildings — thought that we’d still be playing right now,” Allen said, calling Jackson an inspiration.
“Love watching him play because every play is never dead with him. He’s got a crazy ability to keep plays alive and make guys miss and then get the ball downfield, so he’s a special player.” Jackson is the reigning MVP, has won it twice and his 254 yards rushing are the most of any QB through the first three games of the season.
He is now paired with Derrick Henry,.
