Derrick Henry gallops to 199 rushing yards as Ravens dominate Bills
‘Meanwhile, Josh Allen and the Bills, who had been rolling themselves entering this marquee Sunday night matchup on the road, came back down to Earth as John Harbaugh’s group was dialing up the right blitzes that kept him running all over the field. ‘
Ravens vs. Bills takeaways: Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry carry Baltimore, hand Buffalo first loss of season
‘The Baltimore Ravens exploded on their first play from scrimmage Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills, with Derrick Henry sprinting 87 yards for a historic touchdown run — the longest in team history. It turns out the home run was merely a preview of what was to come in prime time. Powering forward with the legs of both Henry and reigning MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson, the Ravens refused to surrender their lead for even a single moment, leaving Josh Allen and Co. grasping for answers in a decisive 35-10 victory.’
Josh Allen Heaved One of the Most Ridiculous Passes of His Career in Bills-Ravens

Did Josh Allen get hurt vs. Ravens? Bills QB benched late on 'SNF' but not because of injury
‘Buffalo was down 35-10 by the time McDermott took Allen out of the game in favor of Mitchell Trubisky, and knowing Allen’s value to the entire team, it’s tough to blame him.

The Buffalo Bills defense is an army without a lieutenant
‘The Bills were without their three best defensive players for the second straight week against Baltimore. Linebackers Matt Milano and Terrel Bernard were out again, and Milano won’t be back until at least December while he rehabs a bicep injury. Bernard is dealing with a pectoral injury that will keep him out for an undetermined amount of time. Nickel cornerback Taron Johnson was also out again after injuring his arm in Week 1 against the Cardinals. The Bills were able to get away with these injuries because they hadn’t played a physical, ground-and-pound team in their first three games. The Cardinals, Dolphins, and Jaguars are all finesse offenses that the Bills were able to out-physical up front – Baltimore was a different story, and that was evident from the first snap for Baltimore.’
Josh Allen vs. Lamar Jackson: How Bills QB has struggled in limited history vs. Ravens star
‘Allen and Jackson have faced off with one another just four times in the regular season and one time in the playoffs. Jackson holds the regular-season advantage thus far, vanquishing Allen and the Bills in three of their four meetings. Allen and his side were the victors in postseason play, however, vanquishing Baltimore 17-3 in their one playoff matchup.’

McDermott: 'I'll give credit where credit's due'
‘”In some of the fringe areas, they were either pressuring or getting pressure with their [front-]four, and some of the drives that we did have were stalling out there,” said Bills head coach Sean McDermott following Sunday’s loss during his postgame press conference.’
Allen confident Bills will learn from blowout loss to Ravens
‘”They had a good game. Those guys get on the other side, they get paid too,” said Allen on Sunday during his postgame press conference with the media. “They made more plays than us, and we’ll learn from it. We’ll be better from this one.”‘
