          It took a dropped pass, but the Buffalo Bills are moving on to the AFC Championship Game after defeating the Baltimore Ravens 27-25 on Sunday.

          After Lamar Jackson connected with tight end Isaiah Likely on a 24-yard touchdown with 1:33 remaining, the Ravens faced a 2-point conversion to potentially send the game into overtime.

          Jackson rolled to his right and threw a pass intended for tight end Mark Andrews. However, Andrews dropped the pass, keeping the Bills ahead. Entering Sunday, Andrews hadn't dropped a pass since Week 6.

          Buffalo recovered Baltimore's ensuing onside kick, then running back Ty Johnson dashed for 17 yards to gain a first down -- effectively ending the game.

          The Bills will face the Kansas City Chiefs next Sunday with a spot in Super Bowl LIX on the line. Buffalo, which beat Kansas City in Week 11, is seeking to be the third team since 2018 to beat the Chiefs twice in a season.

          Baltimore's loss and Andrews' big drop prompted reactions from around the sports world.
