Ravens Exit Playoffs After Narrow Loss to Bills
The Baltimore Ravens' 2024-25 season concluded in a dramatic fashion with the team being eliminated in the divisional round of the playoffs. In a closely contested matchup, the Ravens fell to the Buffalo Bills by a score of 27-25. The Ravens were trailing by eight points with slightly more than three minutes left in the game, but a resilient drive led by quarterback Lamar Jackson resulted in a touchdown pass to tight end Isaiah Likely, narrowing the deficit.
However, the Ravens' attempt for a two-point conversion was thwarted when tight end Mark Andrews dropped a pass that could have tied the game. This critical moment left fans expressing their disappointment over the missed opportunity, given Andrews' impressive track record as a three-time Pro Bowler. With Jackson finishing the game with an 18-of-25 passing performance for 254 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, along with 39 rushing yards on six attempts, the stakes of the game intensified.
The Ravens had initially established a 7-0 lead but quickly found themselves on the back foot as the Bills responded with a touchdown and capitalized on a fumble by Jackson to take a 14-7 lead. Despite struggling with turnovers and trailing 21-10 at halftime, the Ravens managed to claw back and were only two points away entering the fourth quarter. With crucial turnovers hampering their offensive efforts, the Ravens concluded the season still searching for their first Super Bowl appearance since Jackson became the full-time starter in 2019.
