NFL – The Ravens tormented the Buffalo defense throughout the game. Baltimore’s running game completely destroyed the hopes of the Bills, who conceded their first defeat of the season (35-10).
NFL – The Buffalo Bills lose their first game of the season. In Baltimore, the Bills will never have found the solution. For the first drive of the match, Derrick Henry will score a touchdown on the 87-yard run on the first play. A drive lasting 12 seconds in total, which directly sets the scene. The Bills have been warned, it will be a race, a race and more of a race.
Whether with Derrick Henry, Lamar Jackson or Justice Hill, the result is the same. The Ravens have a diversity in ball carrier profiles that has made the defense’s job even more complicated. Tonight, the Bills will not have managed to find a way to stop them in a lasting way. With 271 total rushing yards, including 199 for Henry, and 54 for Lamar, the Ravens rolled over Buffalo.
Almost non-existent recipients:
Tonight, Lamar will have distributed the ball to 6 different players. Among them, the two running backs (Henry and Hill) are the ones who had the most receptions with 6 for Hill and 3 for Henry, and a receiving touchdown each. Otherwise, among professional receivers, only Nelson Agholor has two receptions, the others were only touched once. A statistic which shows to what extent the passing game was used very little this evening. The Ravens finished with 156 yards in the air, 88 of which were received by running backs.
Josh Allen sans solutions :
The Bills offensive line underperformed. Throughout the match, the Buffalo quarterback will have suffered blitzes from the defense, often having to perform miracles to avoid tackles and gain a little ground. With only a few seconds left before he was tackled, Allen had to rush on numerous occasions, which prevented him from being as precise as usual. Despite everything, he managed not to be intercepted. However, he lost a ball after being hit while making a pass.
Buffalo loses its invincibility:
With a 3-0 record, the Bills traveled to Baltimore full of confidence. Despite everything, some specialists agreed on the fact that Buffalo’s victories had been acquired against teams of a lower level than the Ravens. Tonight’s match was the first real test for Josh Allen and his team. One thing is certain, they still have work to do. Whether it’s defensive adjustments, the quality of protection for the offensive line or even passing accuracy, the Bills are coming back down to earth.
Statistics far from their usual standards:
155 passing yards, 81 rushing, Josh Allen and the Bills were unrecognizable tonight. With a 16/29 for 180 yards, no touchdowns and one fumble, Allen is far from the MVP level of his start to the season. Like his team, he will have to get back on track quickly in the next game against the Houston Texans.
