The Buffalo Bills delivered a commanding 36–10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, but the final score only tells part of the story. Josh Allen made franchise history, Baltimore lost two quarterbacks to injuries, and the Ravens suffered their third consecutive defeat.
Buffalo improved to 6–1, while Baltimore dropped to 4–4 after opening the season 4–1.
Josh Allen Breaks Jim Kelly's Record
Allen completed 21 of 34 passes for 289 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also contributed 30 rushing yards and a touchdown.
His 11-yard touchdown pass to DJ Moore in the fourth quarter gave him 259 career touchdown passes, including postseason games, breaking Jim Kelly's Buffalo franchise record of 258.
Allen later connected with Dalton Kincaid on a beautifully delivered 23-yard touchdown pass, extending Buffalo's lead to 36–10.
Kincaid finished with 86 receiving yards and a touchdown, while Moore contributed 82 yards and a score. James Cook III added 80 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Baltimore's Quarterback Nightmare
The Ravens entered Sunday's matchup hoping to stop a two-game losing streak. Instead, their problems intensified almost immediately.
Lamar Jackson, returning after missing three games with an ankle injury, suffered a right thumb injury on Baltimore's first offensive play. His afternoon ended after one incomplete pass.
Backup Tyler Huntley entered but suffered a toe injury in the second quarter, forcing undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano into action.
Fagnano completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards and an interception. He was also sacked three times.
Baltimore's three quarterbacks combined for just 91 gross passing yards, with the team finishing at 68 net passing yards after sacks.
Zay Flowers Posts a Doughnut
Baltimore's passing struggles were reflected in Zay Flowers' final numbers.
The Ravens receiver finished with zero receptions on five targets. One week after recording 137 receiving yards against Cincinnati, Flowers was held without a catch.
Derrick Henry provided one of Baltimore's few offensive highlights, rushing for 53 yards and a touchdown. His score marked his 40th rushing touchdown as a Raven, making him the third player in NFL history to record at least 40 rushing touchdowns with two franchises.
Baltimore's Confidence Appears Shaken
The Ravens were not without opportunities.
Buffalo held a manageable 16–7 halftime advantage despite controlling much of the statistical battle. The Bills also committed two first-half turnovers, giving Baltimore opportunities to remain competitive.
But Baltimore never established offensive consistency.
One sequence late in the fourth quarter captured the afternoon. Facing 3rd-and-1 near midfield, the Ravens botched the quarterback-center exchange on a designed sneak. Fagnano never secured the football, and Buffalo recovered.
The breakdown was another example of Baltimore's deteriorating execution.
Buffalo finished with 426 total yards to Baltimore's 144, controlled the first-down battle 24–10 and held the Ravens to 2.9 yards per play.
What's Next for Baltimore?
The Ravens now face a quick turnaround, hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night.
Jacksonville has demonstrated an ability to punish struggling opponents, but the Jaguars are not unbeatable. Baltimore's challenge will be restoring offensive stability while managing the uncertain availability of Jackson and Huntley.
S³ Final Analysis
Buffalo deserves credit for its decisive victory. Allen controlled the offense, the defense applied consistent pressure, and the Bills capitalized on Baltimore's mistakes.
But Baltimore's troubles extend beyond Sunday's injuries.
Three consecutive losses, declining offensive production and repeated execution mistakes have left the Ravens searching for answers.
The Bills leave Week 8 with another convincing victory and a franchise milestone for their quarterback.
The Ravens leave with a much bigger question.
Can Baltimore regain its confidence before its season begins slipping away?
