N.F.L. Playoffs: Bills Score First, Lead Ravens 3-0

The Bills defense will go up against the league’s top running game, led by quarterback Lamar Jackson and running backs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. The Ravens ran for more than 3,000 yards for the second-straight season and had 236 yards rushing last weekend in their victory over the Tennessee Titans. The Bills had the 20th best defense against the run.

Third downs will be key.

Both teams were excellent on third down in the regular season. The Ravens converted 49.1 percent of their third downs, second-best in the league, while the Bills were fourth at 48.
