Ravens clinch AFC playoff berth with 24-17 win over Bills

Associated Press  

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Coach John Harbaugh happily discovered it’s going to take more than clinching a second consecutive playoff berth to impress Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. Whether it’s the sign of a team stinging from the memories of last year’s AFC wild-card playoff loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, or simply the fact that there are three games left in the season, Harbaugh didn’t see many signs of celebration after the Ravens became the conference’s first team to secure a postseason berth following a 24-17 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. “He just has so much self-awareness to extend the play and find an open player.” The Bills otherwise shut down an offense that entered the game threatening to become the NFL’s first to finish a season averaging 200 yards rushing and passing. Buffalo also fell short with a chance to at least force overtime, and despite benefiting from two personal fouls and a pass interference penalty called against Baltimore on the Bills’ final drive.
