It was a game to forget for Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson: he didn’t get his dreaded running game rolling and then he threw an interception that Taron Johnson carried back into the Ravens end zone for the play-off record of 101 yards. And as if all that wasn’t enough, he had to leave the field at the end of the third quarter with a suspected concussion.

So instead of the expected duel between Jackson and Buffalo’s Josh Allen, Johnson’s mega-run outshone the game. “I caught the ball and first looked down. But when I looked up again I saw a lot of green grass in front of me. ”Johnson brought the Bills their first participation in the conference finals since 1994. The opponent will be determined on Sunday evening (9:05 pm) between Kansas City and Cleveland.
This is the end of the season for the Ravens. “I’m not frustrated at all,” Coach John Harbaugh said afterwards. “The players are disappointed, of course. It’s always hard to lose a game. Our boys washed up like crazy, and if you don’t win then you get hurt. “

The Green Bay Packers are also only one step away from the Super Bowl. The favorites defeated the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night, led by their strong star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, 32:18. The German wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown caught a 27-yard pass on the way to the NFC conference finals.

The Packers await either Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the New Orleans Saints at the freezing Lambeau Field, which for the first time this season allowed around 8,000 spectators.
The conference finals will be played on January 24th. The Super Bowl will be played in Tampa on February 7th.
