Before the Denver Broncos even made it to their locker room at Highmark Stadium after losing to the Buffalo Bills, the NFL world already had pushed them to the side while looking ahead.
The Bills (13-4) beat the Broncos (10-7) in their Wild Card meeting in a 31-7 final.
Buffalo moves on and it’s a big one up next. The game everyone wanted to see.
The Bills will host the Baltimore Ravens in their upcoming Divisional round matchup.
Earlier this year, the two teams played in Baltimore and the Ravens took that in a convincing 35-10 fashion. But the ongoing battle between quarterbacks Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson has added a lot of juice to next week.
Immediately after the final whistle in Orchard Park against the Broncos, the Bills’ upcoming clash with the Ravens was on everyone’s mind.
Here is a roundup of national media reaction following the win:
Ravens vs. Bills is gonna be so epic

Again, I give Josh Allen a slight edge for MVP because he did a little more with less. Ravens had 9 Pro Bowlers to only 2 for the Bills.
