08.30 – Ravens at Bills Game Notes
- The three highest graded players were Da’Norris Searcy (+3.9), James Ihedigbo (+3.7) and Aaron Williams (+3.5)
- The three lowest graded players were Joe Flacco (-7.5), Gino Gradkowski (-4.1)and E.J. Manuel (-3.0)
- The Bills used the Option on 11 of their rushing attempts. Out of it Manuel ran the ball four times and the back seven times. Manuel picked up 12 yards here, including one play where he fumbled and another that had yards taken off for a hold downfield.
- While it was a big day for Torrey Smith with 166 yards, it did take 54 routes to pick them up. That gave him 3.07 yards per route, a number bettered by Robert Woodswho scored a 3.2. What’s more there was more for him on the field with some more accurate quarterback play.
- Providing small consolation for the Ravens was the play of Arthur Jones in run defense. With the Bills getting two bodies on Haloti Ngata for most of the game he took advantage of one against one work with a healthy five defensive stops against the run. His first five of the year.
