What happened: The Baltimore Ravens host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET in an AFC regular-season matchup. Lamar Jackson participated fully in practice on Thursday despite an ankle injury designation, clearing the way to face Josh Allen. The meeting comes two days after Josh Allen called Lamar Jackson 'best of the best' as both teams prepared for the Week 9 contest.

Why it matters: Buffalo (5-1) holds the No. 2 seed in the AFC following a two-game winning streak and a 33-30 victory over Las Vegas. Baltimore (4-3) enters as the No. 9 seed after back-to-back defeats, including a 35-13 loss to Cincinnati. A victory keeps Buffalo within reach of the conference's top spot, while Baltimore needs a win to climb back into the current playoff field.

What to watch: Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+. Jackson's game-day active status will be finalized ahead of the pregame inactive deadline.
