The stage is set for an electrifying showdown as the Baltimore Ravens take on the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round.
While MVP quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen naturally command the spotlight, another critical storyline quietly builds: Von Miller versus Derrick Henry-a matchup of physicality, strategy, and determination.
The unstoppable Derrick Henry
At 31, Derrick Henry continues to defy expectations, delivering what many believe to be his finest season yet. With 325 carries, 1,921 rushing yards, and 18 touchdowns in 2024, Henry is a juggernaut who shows no signs of slowing down. His work ethic, described by Von Miller as "borderline terrifying," sets him apart.
Miller, who trains with Henry in Dallas, shared insight into his preparation on the Rich Eisen Show.

"Keeping up with him in the weight room is harder than stopping him on the field," Miller itted to Rich Eisen.
While the Bills' defensive ace joked about matching Henry's size, he acknowledged the reality: stopping Henry requires "population"-a group effort from Buffalo's defense.
While Henry and Miller set the stage for a physical battle, the game's narrative also revolves around Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, two of the NFL's most dynamic quarterbacks. Jackson is gunning for his third MVP award, while Allen hopes to claim his first. Despite their individual brilliance, both quarterbacks have struggled against Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs, entering this game with a combined 0-4 playoff record against KC.
When it comes to rivalries, Jackson and Allen offer contrasting approaches. Jackson is all business.
"I'm trying to beat you. I'm not trying to be your friend," Jackson declared.
Allen, on the other hand, brushes off comparisons with his opposite number.
"I've never played against another quarterback."
The Ravens and Bills are poised for a game of epic proportions. With Miller's defensive brilliance and Jackson's offensive mastery, the winner may be decided by a single pivotal moment. As Miller summed it up: "You just gotta make a few more plays."
