Plays that shaped the game: How the Ravens' underrated Justice Hill shocked the Bills with lightning plays
‘Hill is only 5-foot-9, but he has superb speed and elite quickness. He runs a 4.40-second time in the 40-yard dash. He had the best athletic score of any back in the draft that year, and his broad jump of 10 feet, 10 inches was in the top 2% of all backs from 1989 to that time, according to NFL draft analyst Kent Lee Platte.’

‘The Bills received the opening kickoff and faced a 4th and 2 at midfield. Buffalo has had similar situations in the previous two games, and McDermott elected to trust his offense and go for it on 4th down.

What the Bills said about trick play that ended in game-changing turnover vs. Ravens
‘The play broke down when left tackle Dion Dawkins was slow off the line and didn’t get a block on Van Noy, who hit Samuel as he pitched the ball to Allen.

Bills vs. Ravens winners, losers: Derrick Henry stars in dominant Baltimore win
‘Coming out of Week 4, the narrative about the Bills could shift significantly. Why? Because the three teams Buffalo faced to start the season — the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins and Jaguars — have all endured defensive struggles that aren’t limited to their games against the Bills. That will lead some to question whether the Bills offense benefitted from a weaker than expected schedule to start the year.’

‘“They came out with urgency and whooped our butt,” said Allen, who was replaced by backup Mitch Trubisky in the fourth. “Not everything was bad in this game. I don’t want us to come away from this thinking we’re the worst. Lot to learn from. I’m glad this happened early in the season so we can correct things.”’
