The Baltimore Ravens are heading north for a frigid Divisional Round clash against the Buffalo Bills, and they’re doing it with style and grit. With temperatures expected to plunge below freezing at Highmark Stadium on Sunday night, the Ravens announced they’ll be rocking their all-white uniforms—a clean, icy look to match the wintry conditions.

Baltimore’s all-white combo has only made two appearances this season, a Week 1 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and a Week 12 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. While the look hasn’t been playoff-tested in the Lamar Jackson era, this team doesn’t believe in superstitions. They’re focused on what happens between the lines, not on what they’re wearing.

The stakes couldn’t be higher for this matchup. A spot in the AFC Championship game is on the line, and both teams are bringing their best. The Ravens, led by Jackson and Derrick Henry, have thrived with a run-heavy approach that rolled over Pittsburgh last weekend. The Bills, unbeaten at home this season, are eager to avenge their Week 4 blowout loss to Baltimore.

Ravens rocking all white for Divisional Round vs. Bills

While Buffalo is no stranger to arctic conditions, the Ravens believe their offense is built for this kind of game. Derrick Henry has been dominant in recent weeks, averaging over 150 rushing yards per game in his last four outings. Lamar Jackson thrives in tough environments, with a 37-17 road record that includes a 1-1 playoff record.

Not all the news is positive for Baltimore. Pro Bowl wide receiver Zay Flowers, who led the team with 1,059 receiving yards, missed his fifth straight practice Thursday. His status for Sunday remains uncertain, with Harbaugh leaving the door open for a game-time decision.

Without Flowers, the Ravens will rely on Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, and Tylan Wallace to step up in the passing game. Tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely will also play key roles as Baltimore looks to exploit Buffalo’s run defense, which has struggled at times this season.

The Bills, on the other hand, are healthier than they were in Week 4, with key defensive players like Matt Milano and Taron Johnson back in action. Buffalo’s offense, led by Josh Allen and James Cook, has hit its stride, making Flowers’ potential absence even more significant.

While the all-white uniforms add a little flair, the Ravens’ mindset is all business. This team knows how to win on the road, in tough conditions, and under the brightest lights. They’ve been tested all season and are determined not to let the elements—or Buffalo’s home-field advantage—define their playoff run.

When the snow starts falling Sunday night, it won’t just be about who handles the cold better. It’ll be about who executes better, who imposes their will, and who rises to the moment. The Ravens have shown they’re built for games like this. Now it’s time to prove it again.
