The job was almost done.
The Bills had weathered a keyed-up M&T Bank Stadium crowd, another virtuoso effort from Lamar Jackson, a Ravens defense that showed signs of coming alive and monsoon conditions. The ball sat on the Baltimore 11, with John Harbaugh having burned his second timeout, first-and-10 coming and Josh Allen convening with Sean McDermott.
In the past, Allen might’ve ridden all that emotion right over to his coach. But not now, not with Buffalo on the precipice of doing what millions spent the week saying it couldn’t.
