What happened: Lamar Jackson is on track to start Sunday as the Baltimore Ravens visit the Buffalo Bills. The quarterback logged full practice participation this week after missing the past three games with an ankle injury.

By the numbers: • Baltimore Ravens: 4-3, AFC seed 9 (L2 streak) • Buffalo Bills: 5-1, AFC seed 2 (W2 streak) • Last week: Ravens lost 35-13 vs. Bengals; Bills won 33-30 at Raiders

What to watch: Baltimore and Buffalo kick off Sunday, with official inactives confirmed 90 minutes prior to game time.
