BALTIMORE – Former BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy forced Buffalo QB Josh Allen to fumble in the third quarter, setting up a Ravens touchdown.
The Bills went with a trick play and when the ball got back to Allen and he loaded up to throw, Van Noy dove out to get his hands on the ball.
Baltimore safety Kyle Hamilton was able to recover the fumble to bring the Ravens offense out on the field.
It took just six plays for Lamar Jackson to lead the offense 59 yards into the end zone for six.
The Van Noy forced fumble set up the fourth TD of the night that gave the Ravens an 18-point lead.
Leading up to the big play, Van Noy had two solo tackles, two sacks, two tackles for loss, and three quarterback hits.
Heading into the fourth quarter, the Ravens looked primed to hand Buffalo its first loss of the season.
