Former Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott knows exactly what a game against the Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson looks like. He did that plenty during his tenure in Buffalo.

McDermott also had Josh Allen as his own quarterback every time he has faced Jackson as a bench boss.

In the regular season alone, McDermott's Bills took on the Ravens four times and had a 2-2 record against them. The two sides have met in the postseason as well.

If the last time the two faced off, a 41-40 win for Buffalo, is any indication--It could be a Sunday filled with fireworks in Week 8 because of those QBs.

Ahead of the matchup, McDermott gave his breakdown on both quarterbacks.

McDermott used the word "redefined" when discussing both Jackson and Allen.

McDermott's full breakdown can be found in the clip below:

"Lamar has, in a lot of ways, redefined the quarterback position... Josh has, you know, had his journey as well... redefined the quarterback position"
