Bills surge in 2nd half in 36-10 win over Baltimore in outing Ravens lose Jackson, Huntly to injury

Buffalo Bills secured a 36-10 victory over Baltimore on Sunday, overcoming a sluggish first half and suffering the loss of star players Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley to injuries early in the contest. Josh Allen delivered a strong performance, throwing two touchdown passes and rushing for another score. Dalton Kincaid and DJ Moore added crucial touchdowns in the final quarter, solidifying the Bills' 6-1 start in the AFC East, their longest such streak in franchise history.

James Cook's 5-yard touchdown run rounded out the scoring for Buffalo, who have won nine consecutive games under head coach Josh Allen following their bye week. The Bills' defense played a pivotal role, forcing three turnovers and securing four sacks, while holding the Ravens to a meager 144 total yards. The outcome marked a significant step forward for the Bills' defense, which had struggled with an NFL-worst defense record, allowing 29 or more points in five out of six games.

However, the game was marred by numerous mistakes, including five turnovers (three committed by Baltimore), a missed 34-yard field goal attempt by Baltimore's Joe Loop, and a controversial holding penalty negating Derrick Henry's rushing touchdown. The Bills' offense also struggled, with Joe Palmer, a wide receiver, ruled out due to a right hamstring injury sustained during the first quarter.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's much-anticipated return from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury was sidelined after colliding with Bills edge rusher Greg Rousseau, damaging his right thumb. Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley, who took over for Jackson, suffered a toe injury while being sacked and losing a fumble, ending Baltimore's scoring opportunity. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, serving as an emergency third-string quarterback, completed his NFL debut with 91 yards and an interception.

Despite the setbacks, Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to the sideline with his thumb in a protective splint, though his availability for future games remains uncertain. The Ravens now face Jacksonville in an upcoming Thursday night matchup. Meanwhile, the Bills look ahead to their "Monday Night Football" game against the Minnesota Vikings on November 9.
