The Patriots' Tom Brady won his first two playoff matchups against Peyton Manning before losing the final three in the only QB rivalry with five postseason meetings. Brady split four matchups with Baltimore's Joe Flacco with the Patriots and Ravens alternating wins in those matchups that came in a span of six seasons.

There isn't a contemporary NFL quarterback rivalry quite like Josh Allen versus Patrick Mahomes. While the MVP-level signal-callers don't play in the same division, they've made a habit of meeting in high-stakes contests.

After staving off a near-comeback attempt by the Baltimore Ravens, quarterback Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are headed back to the AFC championship game for the first time since the 2020-21 season.
