Lamar Jackson vs. Josh Allen highlights NFL playoff slate: Who deserves MVP? This weekend's divisional round of the NFL playoffs features two quarterbacks in remarkably similar positions. Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills and Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens are the leading MVP candidates this season.

Harbaugh said he respects Allen's passion for winning, which is another trait he shares with Jackson. In his rookie season, Allen took exception to something Ravens legend Terrell Suggs said or did and let him know about it.

Buffalo has lost in this round in three straight campaigns after reaching the AFC title game in the 2020 season, where the Bills fell to the Chiefs. Allen is 6-5 as a playoff starter, including a 17-3 divisional-round win over the Ravens in the 2020 campaign.

Bills coach Sean McDermott was asked about preparing for Jackson during his press conference. McDermott had high praise for the Ravens' quarterback. "There's only one Lamar Jackson at the end of the day," said McDermott. "So you do the best you can to try and simulate it." Then as he shook his head he added, "Good luck."

Baltimore coach John Harbaugh has enjoyed the fortune of competing on the NFL's biggest stages to appreciate the setting and magnitude of what's on the line for the Ravens and Bills in Buffalo on Sunday.
