Back in Week 4, the Baltimore Ravens secured a commanding 35-10 win over the Buffalo Bills. Now, these two AFC contenders are set to clash again in the Divisional Round, with a spot in the AFC Championship Game at stake.
Though the outcome of that Week 4 matchup no longer holds much weight, especially with the Bills playing at home this Sunday, the Ravens will still review the game as part of their preparation for the postseason.
“I’m not sure what the exact percentage is, but it’s definitely part of the analysis,” said Ravens head coach John Harbaugh.
“You go back and watch all the games, and even dig into past seasons. You’ll identify specific games that are worth emphasizing because they apply to the upcoming matchup. Of course, there are also games we discard based on what we see. We might even skip over some recent games if they don’t seem relevant. For example, we’re not using the last game of the regular season in our preparation. We’ve seen it, we know what happened, but it doesn’t directly influence our game plan.”
The Ravens learned valuable lessons from their November loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, using those lessons to improve and secure wins in December and January. They understand that the Bills will likely make adjustments from their Week 4 strategy, and it will be up to Baltimore to counter those changes effectively.
The Ravens and Bills will kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET from Highmark Stadium. Fans can watch the game on CBS or stream it on Paramount+.
