ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills secured a thrilling victory against the Baltimore Ravens, winning 27-25 in a cold showdown in Orchard Park. Josh Allen and the Bills maintained their lead throughout the game, capitalizing on turnovers. The Ravens had three turnovers while the Bills had none.

The Bills are now setting their sights on the AFC Championship, where they will face the Kansas City Chiefs in a battle to get to the Super Bowl. The Chiefs have ended the Bills’ season three times in the last four years, but the Bills are eager to prove their doubters wrong.

Bills Head Coach Sean McDermott expressed his pride in the team and the city. “These people in this town are winners and I’ve been here just eight years, but I consider this my hometown. This place is different and the people here are different.”

Quarterback Josh Allen added, “We don’t listen to the outside noise, but everyone was saying this and that about us, and we didn’t have enough talent, weren’t good enough to be in these positions. And our guys just continue to work hard, and we’re internally driven. We love each other and I think you saw how much we played for each other there.”

The Bills’ coaching staff, including Coach McDermott and the offensive and defensive coordinators, are scheduled to speak to the media on Monday afternoon about their preparations for the AFC Championship. The Bills will face the Chiefs next Sunday at 6:30 p.m. at Arrowhead Stadium. You can watch the game on CBS.
