Adley Rutschman spent the offseason stewing on disappointment. It has lit a fire in him.
“I didn’t have to look very hard to find motivation this offseason,” he said. “You’re just pissed off for months. You’re like, ‘OK, let’s lock it in. Let’s go.’”

Can the Bills stop the Ravens' rushing attack in the playoffs? Good luck.
The Ravens' rushing attack finished the season as the NFL’s most efficient, according to FTN, but the Bills' run defense was No. 8.
