‘In short, the Ravens showed up on a mission, which was to show the country they are, in fact, the serious Super Bowl contender they were widely touted to be before the season and not the club that had stumbled to a 1-2 start. The Bills? They didn’t show up. At all. They were lifeless and reckless and clueless. They did nothing to demonstrate their 3-0 record was reflective of a team performing as one of the NFL’s best.’

Bills' McGovern leaves game with possible head injury; confusion on the field follows
‘The Bills announced on social media that McGovern, making his fifth career start at center, was cleared to return. But when he attempted to run back onto the field five minutes later, the referees stopped him.’
Thad Brown: Bills get exposed, not ended in Baltimore
‘The defensive side of this blowout was maybe a bit to be expected. At some point, all those injuries were going to take a toll. And Buffalo suffered another one Sunday night when safety Taylor Rapp left the game. The Ravens are also fairly tailor-made to expose weaknesses at linebacker, nickel corner and safety. Going back and forth between the steamroller that is Derrick Henry and the electricity of the Lamar Jackson/Justice Hill duo is going to be a pain for any defense. Buffalo didn’t have the personnel to match and it showed from start to finish.’
Bills unable to stop Ravens running back, falling 35-10 in first loss of season
‘“Make no mistake, that’s a good team that we just played,” said Bills quarterback Josh Allen. “When they’re playing that well, especially on the offensive side of the ball, we on offense have to figure it out and we have to find a way to match scores and we just didn’t do a good enough job tonight and that starts with me.”’

‘”Winning the line of scrimmage was a challenge for us tonight, consistently,” McDermott said. “And if you don’t win the line of scrimmage, and that’s a whole team thing, not just on D line, but overall, we’ve got to do a better job up front.”‘

‘”We’ll know when we watch the film,” DT DaQuan Jones said. “They just kept getting them creases and Derrick is one of those backs, you give him a lane and he’ll take it to the crib and first play of the game, he did that, and I felt that got them in a rhythm and that kept them going after that.”‘

How 'scrappy gamer' Khalil Shakir has taken off as Bills' top pass-catcher
‘“I’m weird, man,” Shakir told The Buffalo News at his locker following Thursday’s practice. “I really don’t focus or think about it. It kind of just happens, and I guess it goes to making the most out of every opportunity.”’
Bills at Ravens: Four keys to a Buffalo victory at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore
‘It’s not just Henry that the Bills have to worry about when it comes to the run game. Jackson’s 254 yards are No. 1 among NFL quarterbacks. Not only that, he’s on pace to keep climbing in the record books. With his 5,512 career rushing yards, Jackson is closing in on Cam Newton’s career total of 5,628 – the second-most by any NFL quarterback. (Newton is behind only Michael Vick at 6,109.) McDermott knows the impact Jackson can have. “(Jackson’s) just an incredible athlete, incredible player, probably in a lot of ways changed some of the things around the NFL, by the way he plays,” McDermott said. “And so, just the utmost respect for him and his game.”’
Bills-Ravens numbers to know: These 4 stats could shape Buffalo's game at Baltimore
‘The Ravens ran 45 times and passed only 15 against the chronically soft Dallas Cowboys defense. That’s a recipe for a certain Baltimore victory. The Bills must get Lamar Jackson in must-pass situations.’
Bills-Ravens: Who you got? Buffalo News writers make their predictions on Sunday night game
‘The Bills have been rolling, but they’ll hit some bumps in Baltimore. The Ravens are better than their 1-2 record indicates, and trying to slow the combination of quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry is no small task. The banged-up Bills defense will need to contain the Ravens, who are averaging a league-leading 5.9 yards per carry. I’m expecting a high-scoring game, but for the Bills to score last, with Josh Allen excelling in prime time once again. Bills, 30-27.’
Bills Mailbag: Is Rasul Douglas playing himself into a new deal?
‘Douglas and the Bills are in an interesting spot. He doesn’t turn 30 until just before the start of the 2025 season, so he’s not old, but he’s not exactly young, either. With that being the case, he’s probably going to look to maximize his earnings on his next deal, which could be his last, best chance to cash in big. Committing big dollars to a player 30 or older always comes with some risk. Outside of Von Miller, the Bills haven’t done a lot of that. They moved on from 30-something veterans Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer and Mitch Morse in the offseason.’
