Ravens face NFL's highest-scoring offense in crucial Bills matchup
Baltimore's struggling defense faces a Buffalo offense averaging 32.8 points per game as the Ravens try to end a two-game losing streak
The Baltimore Ravens face a critical matchup against the Buffalo Bills, a team with the NFL's highest-scoring offense, on Sunday. The Ravens have struggled defensively in their last two games, allowing 35 unanswered points to the Cincinnati Bengals and suffering a second-half collapse. Buffalo averages 32.8 points per game and 387.7 total yards, ranking fourth in total offense.
Their quarterback, Josh Allen, is completing passes at a league-leading rate and adding rushing touchdowns. The Ravens' defense, led by coordinator Anthony Weaver, will need to generate consistent pressure on Allen, cover his receivers effectively, and limit the impact of running back James Cook. With the Bills' offense capable of explosive plays, Baltimore's defensive coordinator will need to deploy aggressive blitz packages while maintaining control of the secondary.
A strong performance from the Ravens' defense could provide a much-needed win for the team and help them end their two-game losing streak.
