I will be clear in stating I don't think this is a SB winning team. I have us going out in the Divisional Round, however, if you close your eyes and forget what you've seen this season, and somebody told you that an unnamed team going into the playoffs had a:
Top 10 defense
A running game that may not have the gaudy overall numbers of top rushing teams, but really just started to embrace their run game over the second part of the season and has a RB that nobody wants a part of in cold weather
A sure fire first ballot HOF head coach
And at the least the most talented QB of all time, if not already close to the best overall
You would have to feel pretty good about that team's chances against the likes of:
Lamar Jackson- huge post season failure to this point
Josh Allen- As likely to win you the game as he is to win it for his own team, and has never beaten you when it matters
Tua- Love the guy (from my home state) but bitch, please
I guess we can throw in the resurrected corpse of Joe Flacco but I think we could win that game 10-3
So, while I don't think it will happen for us this season, you can make a good case this is as strong a candidate to make it out of the AFC as anyone else.
