The near annual playoff matchups between Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen are hardly unprecedented. The one-sided nature of the postseason rivalry between the two star quarterbacks is more unusual.

Allen, who finished the game with a pair of rushing touchdowns, was among the first players to greet Jackson at midfield following the Bills’ 27-25 win. The two quarterbacks shared a hug, and Allen had words of encouragement for Jackson.

Now, Allen’s Buffalo Bills will host Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens in what I would argue is statistically the greatest quarterback match-up in divisional playoff history . The greatest of what will be, after this weekend, 229 divisional playoff games in the Super Bowl era.
