Kenico Hines might be the key to making Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens comfortable in the hostile playoff environment of Western New York in Sunday's divisional playoff game with the Buffalo Bills.

Congratulations to Lamar Jackson, whose season officially begins now after a 28–14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson was excellent Saturday night in an undressing of his division rival, with a 132.

Baltimore and Buffalo's Divisional Round matchup positions the superstar quarterbacks for an all-time showdown.

As far as Lamar Jackson is concerned ... That's still a couple years younger than Peyton Manning was when he won his first Super Bowl, and Manning also had multiple MVPs at that point.

Josh Allen has put up huge numbers but if he doesn't win MVP, it could be his third year as runner-up in the voting.

Lamar Jackson vs. Josh Allen won’t decide the NFL MVP next week. The stakes are higher with a spot in the AFC championship game on the line. Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens (13-5) will visit Allen and the Buffalo Bills (14-4) in the divisional round while Patrick Mahomes and the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs (15-2) will host C.
