What we learned divisional round: Bills rely on defense as they advance to AFC title game

Defense still wins in the postseason.

Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier designed an excellent game plan and his defense executed Saturday night as they held Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens to just one field goal in the 17-3 win.

Josh Allen and the Bills offense scored only one touchdown in the victory. Allen completed 23-of-37 passes for 206 yards and the Bills' touchdown.

Wide receiver Stefon Diggs had game-high eight catches for 106 yards and the game’s only offensive touchdown.

The Bills earned their first AFC Championship Game berth since the 1993 season.

Here’s what we learned in the divisional round playoff game:
