‘Replay review put one second back on the clock, and Matt Prater drilled a 43-yard field goal as time officially expired in the second quarter, cutting Buffalo’s deficit to 20-13 in Sunday night’s opener at Highmark Stadium.’

Josh Allen calls out Bills fans who left stadium early in historic comeback over Ravens
‘“Our team didn’t quit,” Allen told NBC’s Melissa Stark after Buffalo’s 41–40 comeback win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football. “I mean, I think there’s people that left the stadium. That’s OK, we’ll be fine, but have some faith next time.”’
Top games in stadium history: Kelly’s '91 no-huddle clinic leaves Steelers in the dust
‘“When I was a kid I grew up watching the Steelers with the terrible towel and Myron Cope on the radio and watching my idol Terry Bradshaw,” Kelly told me years later. “Every time the Steelers were playing I was watching the game and I wanted to play for the Steelers. That was my dream as a kid. So that day we’re playing the Steelers in Orchard Park, my whole family was there, my friends from my hometown were there, and it turned out to be the best game of my career.”’
From Chaos to Celebration: Bills Stun Ravens in Opener
‘For the large majority of Sunday night, though, the Bills’ on-field experience looked reminiscent of their playoff demons from past years — like a deeply introspective ending was in the cards. Josh Allen and the offense played well, but to be leading early in the fourth quarter they would have had to be perfect. In actuality, the Bills’ overall effort leading into the final minutes did not earn a happy ending.’
Bills complete epic comeback behind MVP performance from Josh Allen (Observations)
‘Allen had 424 yards of total offense and helped the Bills overcome a troubling defensive performance through most of four quarters. The Bills defense came up with two monster stops late in the game, and Ed Oliver forced a Derrick Henry fumble to create new life in the final minutes.’

‘Buffalo had no answer for Derrick Henry or Lamar Jackson when they ran with the football.’
Inside the improbable Bills’ comeback win over Ravens & Josh Allen’s masterpiece
‘The argument for Allen’s MVP credentials mostly centered around what he did with a supporting cast lacking any superstars. He’s made the most of the group that general manager Brandon Beane assembled, but he doesn’t have a true superstar like Jackson has in running back Derrick Henry.’
Josh Allen has 5-word response for Bills Mafia who left Ravens game early
‘“Have some faith next time,” Allen said with a smile.’
Bills rally for improbable walk-off win over Ravens
‘For most of the night, the Bills looked dead in the water, with Derrick Henry running wild on a Bills defense that looked lifeless. Buffalo seemed like it had been knocked out for good when Lamar Jackson evaded Joey Bosa on a third-and-10 and scrambled 19 yards to move the chains. Henry broke free for a 46-yard touchdown one play later to make it a 40-25 Ravens lead. But when the MVP is on your side, you’re never out of the game.’
Rose: Five takeaways from Bills miraculous win over Ravens
‘For those who still say Josh Allen didn’t deserve the MVP last season, I’d invite you to watch the fourth quarter of Sunday night’s game.’
Matt Prater, Brad Robbins cement themselves in Highmark Stadium history in first games with Bills
‘When Prater got the call to sign with the Bills, he was writing practice plans for his son’s team in the 9- and 10-year-old division in the San Tan Youth Football League. He signed to the practice squad as an insurance policy for kicker Tyler Bass, who was placed on injured reserve the following day with a lingering left hip/groin injury.’
Sabato: Bills show resiliency by robbing Ravens of another Highmark win
‘Joey Bosa didn’t see Matt Loop doink an extra point off the right upright. He was frustrated, angry, disappointed — pick an adjective. The Buffalo Bills defensive end had Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson hemmed in, only for him to dance away for a 19-yard gain on third and 10.’
