Bills, Ravens Set for Allen-Jackson Matchup

The AFC East-leading Buffalo Bills (5-1) host the 4-3 Baltimore Ravens in a matchup between quarterbacks Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, whose careers have been compared since they were drafted in 2018. Allen praised two-time MVP Jackson; the quarterbacks are 2-2 in regular-season meetings, while Allen’s teams have won both playoff matchups. Allen is expected back after Buffalo’s bye, and Jackson is practicing with a possible return from an ankle injury that sidelined him for three games. Baltimore has lost two straight, including a collapse against Cincinnati after leading 13-0 at halftime, and players say the team needs greater consistency. Discussion of the matchup has also focused on quarterback durability, Derrick Henry’s impact on Baltimore’s offense, defensive concerns on both teams and frustration among Ravens fans. A Baltimore tailgate for the Nov. 16, 2026, Ravens game is being advertised with live music, food and other activities.
