‘Allen was off the mark in the first half, but came surging back in the second half to lead the Bills to a critical AFC win over the Ravens. Buffalo scored 20 unanswered points after getting held to just a field goal in the first half. The Ravens scored their last points with 3:44 remaining in the second quarter.’

Lamar Jackson’s big mistake? Throwing at Jordan Poyer, who called his big play
‘“He’s an amazing player,” Johnson said. “The first (interception), I was covering my guy and all I see is the ball in the air and he right there. Just a great awareness play by him. Then the second one, Lamar is just scrambling and (Jordan) is just following the look of the quarterback and he made a mistake to throw it over there to (Jordan). He made the play.”’

Five Takeaways: Bills score 20 unanswered points, storm back to stun Ravens
‘Although there wasn’t much to criticize in terms of the Bills defense’s performance as a whole, it did have trouble slowing the Ravens’ running game at times, allowing Jackson, and RBs Dobbins and Justice Hill, each to break off long gains of 14 yards or more. Dobbins finished with a slim average of 3.2 yards per carry, but Jackson (6.6) and Hill (5.6) each finished with upwards of 5.5 yards per tote. With the continued absences of Ed Oliver and Jordan Phillips, the Bills had trouble owning the line of scrimmage, particularly throughout much of the first half. It will be critical that the Bills get those two players back sooner rather than later.’
Sullivan: Talented and resilient, these Bills have it all
‘But while you can sometimes judge a team’s competitive character in a tough defeat, it’s even more meaningful in a rousing, come-from-behind win. The Bills showed the resilience of a true contender, riding an inspired defense and the resourceful play of Josh Allen to victory.’
Sabato: Don't look away, the Bills are can't-miss TV
‘This version of the Bills hasn’t been seen since the Super Bowl era and it’s reminiscent of the post-lockout Sabres. There’s always a possibility they may come back and you can’t turn off the TV because they’re talented enough to climb out of whatever hole they dig for themselves.’
NFL Sunday takeaways: We saw why Bills' Allen is superior to Ravens' Jackson
‘A halfback run lost three yards. On third-and-goal from the four, Jackson ran up the middle for two. And on fourth-and-goal from the two, rather than have Justin Tucker kick a nearly certain field goal to go up 23-20, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh elected to go for it.’

Bills come back to beat Ravens, whose fourth-quarter TD try backfires
‘Minutes before Bass’ kick sailed through the uprights to send the visiting members of “Bills Mafia” into jubilation, Ravens fans serenaded Jackson with “MVP!” chants as he had the Ravens on the doorstep of a go-ahead score. But he threw a fourth-down interception to Jordan Poyer, the safety’s second of the game, and Allen marched his team down the field for the victory.’

‘“Those are games that you love winning,” Allen said. “It’s a hard-fought battle both ways. Winning on the last play of the game is always fun.”’

‘It was also a comeback win for Buffalo, as they were down 20-3 at one point in the game. But the Bills mustered up 20 unanswered points that began with an Isaiah McKenzie touchdown catch for four yards right before the end of the first half.’
Buffalo Bills lose receivers Isaiah McKenzie, Jamison Crowder to injuries
‘McKenzie suffered his injury in the third quarter after catching an 8-yard pass over the middle on third down. Multiple defenders were near McKenzie to make the tackle, and teammates immediately called over the athletic training staff to look at the receiver, who initially appeared to be motionless on the field.’

‘Josh Allen was also heroic in the comeback victory. His start was shaky, with an interception on his first drive along with a trio of three-and-outs in the first half. The final drive before halftime catalyzed Buffalo’s surge, and the offense did a 180 in the third and fourth quarters. Allen lost slot receiver Isaiah McKenzie due to concussion and labored through at least three drops from his receivers in the rain. It didn’t matter. Allen was the Bills leading rusher with 70 yards on 11 carries, including a 4-yard scamper on a fourth-and-1 on a field goal drive in the third quarter, and the game-tying touchdown in the fourth. Once he settled in, Allen played fantastically in the rain.’
How Josh Allen and the Bills Stayed Calm and Proved They Could Win a Close One
‘We’ll get to the details on how Buffalo did it, but the important thing, the thing that struck those on the Bills’ sideline, was Allen’s demeanor in the moment—and that he did it after making the sort of breakneck plays that have become his trademark to get Buffalo down the field. There was a downfield touch throw to Dawson Knox for 20 yards on a third-and-2 that sparked the march. There was a Houdini escape on a scramble play, followed by an against-his-body bullet to Khalil Shakir two plays later, to put the Bills in field goal range.’

‘Some fans have donated specific amounts such as $21.19, which was the score of the Bills-Dolphins game, and $17.01, which is a combination of Josh Allen’s number and Tagovailoa’s.’
