Key Players
A two-time MVP whose rushing ability makes every Ravens drive a potential explosive play. Jackson's combination of arm talent and running ability forces defenses to account for him on every snap, opening the field for his receivers.
Allen is the most physically gifted quarterback in football. His combination of arm strength and rushing ability gives Buffalo a weekly chance to beat any team in the league.
Flowers' speed and explosiveness after the catch complement Jackson's style perfectly. He creates mismatches in space and has become one of the AFC's most dangerous slot receivers when healthy.
Diggs' route precision and contested-catch ability make him Allen's most reliable target in critical moments. He wins on all three levels of the field and understands how to manipulate cornerback leverage.
