It happ<\/a>ened in a New York Minute.<\/p>\n

With 58 seconds remaining in the third quarter Saturday night, the Ravens were 9 yards away from tying the score. When that time expired, the Bills had no chance of losing.<\/p>\n

Taron Johnson stepped in front of Lamar Jackson\u2019s third-down pass into the end zone and returned his interception 101 yards for the biggest play of the Bills\u2019 17-3 victory against the Ravens in an AFC Divisional Round playoff game in front of 6,700 rowdy fans. Johnson outran the speedy Jackson down the sideline and through intermittent 16 mph winds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe emotions are still flying,\u201d right tackle Dion Dawkins said shortly before midnight. \u201cIt\u2019s a party here. Guys are excited. It will hit in a half-hour when guys get in their car that we\u2019re [one] game away from the big show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson, a third-year player from Weber State with two interceptions in his first 41 career games, disguised his spot in the underneath zone and read Jackson\u2019s eyes as he stared down Andrews.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey always tell us to look at the vision of the quarterback, especially when we\u2019re in zone,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIt\u2019ll take you where you want to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

The devastating turn of events only multiplied two plays later. The Ravens had trouble with snaps all game long and a fly ball over the head of Jackson in the shotgun sent him scrambling toward his own end zone.<\/p>\n

Jackson scooped the ball and threw it out of bounds as he was dragged down, trading an intentional grounding penalty at the 2-yard line to avoid a touchdown or safety.<\/p>\n

The bigger problem? The 2019 NFL MVP suffered a concussion on the crazy final play of the quarter and did not return to the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnytime he goes down,\u201d Andrews said, \u201cyou know he\u2019s feeling something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Undrafted rookie quarterback Tyler Huntley had two chances to make things interesting. On fourth-and-9 with 6:39 remaining, he overthrew a streaking Marquise Brown on what would\u2019ve been a sure 71-yard touchdown.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a heckuva throw,\u201d coach Jim Harbaugh said. \u201cI think the wind pushed it from behind a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Four minutes later, Huntley threw an incompletion when a leaping Mark Andrews couldn\u2019t secure a high pass on fourth-and-goal.<\/p>\n

Despite compiling just 220 yards of total offense and 16 first downs, the Bills are headed to the AFC Championship game for the first time since January 1994, the last of their four straight appearances, because of a surprisingly dominant defensive performance (four sacks) against a Ravens offense that was averaging 34.6 points per game over its previous six. Buffalo either will host the Browns or visit the Chiefs next weekend.<\/p>\n

This was the fourth playoff game since 2000 with no first-half touchdowns. The kickers combined to make 2-of-6 field goals.<\/p>\n

The Ravens\u2019 Justin Tucker \u2014 the most accurate kicker in NFL history \u2014 missed two field goals in a game for the first time since 2018. But both those attempts were from 50-plus yards. Never before in a nine-year career had he missed twice from inside 50.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe weren\u2019t able to finish drives the way we needed to,\u201d Harbaugh said.<\/p>\n

Each team only got one full possession in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

The Bills took the kickoff and drove 66 yards on 11 plays for the tie-breaking touchdown on a drive that featured more rushing plays (four) than the entire first half (three). With better play-calling balance, Allen threw a wide receiver screen to Stefon Diggs, who got low and navigated traffic for a 3-yard touchdown.<\/p>\n

The Ravens responded with an eight-minute drive to the Bills\u2019 9-yard line. Under pressure, Jackson skipped a pass to a wide open Brown as the potential tying touchdown turned into an incompletion. The interception came on the next play \u2014 the 15th of the possession.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaron Johnson will be remembered for a long time here in Buffalo,\u201d quarterback Josh Allen said. \u201cOne of those potentially franchise-altering plays.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
