ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Taron Johnson could’ve kept running into next week on a 101-yard interception return that carried the Buffalo Bills to their first AFC championship game appearance in 26 years.
Johnson’s pick-6 of a Lamar Jackson pass with 41 seconds remaining in the third quarter secured a 17-3 win over the Baltimore Ravens in a divisional-round playoff game Saturday night.
The interception return matched the longest in NFL history and punctuated a stellar defensive outing in which the Bills (15-3) limited the NFL’s top running offense to 150 yards on 32 carries.
Jackson was sacked four times and did not return after being evaluated for a concussion following the final play of the third quarter and two plays after Johnson scored.
