Flowers injured his knee in the regular-season finale, forcing him to miss his first game of the season in the Wild Card Round. The Ravens handled the Pittsburgh Steelers, 28-14, last Saturday without Flowers, relying on a ground game that set a franchise playoff record 299 rushing yards in the victory.
The Ravens will be faced with that same scenario on Sunday, but this time against a Bills defense that is coming off a superb display last week, holding the Broncos to 7 points and 224 total yards in Buffalo’s wild-card win.
Flowers was Lamar Jackson’s favorite target during the 2024 campaign. The 24-year-old led the Ravens in receptions (74), yards (1,059) and targets (116), and the breakout season resulted in Flowers becoming the first Ravens WR to earn a Pro Bowl honor.
Sans Flowers, Jackson will have Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor, who combined for three catches for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Wild Card Round, as his top wide-receiving targets, but a dynamic tight end duo in Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, who combined for seven receptions for 80 yards last week, also remain at his disposal.
Ravens-Bills is scheduled to kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday.
