The Buffalo Bills absolutely stomped the Baltimore Ravens 36-10, but honestly, it was one of the weirdest games you’ll ever see. What was supposed to be a heavyweight clash of two marquee quarterbacks turned into a total circus. Lamar Jackson was out after one measly play for Baltimore, and then their backup, Tyler Huntley, suffered a toe injury in the second quarter. Seriously, what in the world? We all ended up learning the name Joe Fagnano, an undrafted rookie from UCONN, who suddenly found himself slinging the ball for Baltimore.
The Defense Stepped Up Big in a Wild Afternoon
Even with Josh Allen struggling for a good chunk of the afternoon, the Bills’ defense came out and absolutely dominated. Baltimore’s defense tried to keep it close for as long as they could, but our guys just brought the heat. And talk about career milestones, Josh Allen notched yet another major one. It wasn’t pretty all the time, but a 36-10 win? Yeah, we’ll take that all day!
One guy who absolutely brought it was Cole Bishop. The man was on a mission in the first half, speeding through on a blitz, sacking Tyler Huntley and forcing a fumble. Rookie linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr scooped it up, giving the Bills insane field position. We only got a field goal out of it, but Bishop set the whole thing up, and points are points, right? He played lights out all game, covering Mark Andrews like a glove in man looks and owning his zone with total authority. Bishop finished with two tackles, a sack, and a QB hit. That’s the kind of playmaking we need!
What Was Up With the Tight Ends? Seriously?!
Now, let’s talk about the downside, and man, was it a glaring one. The tight ends? What in the world was going on in the first quarter? All three of them dropped a pass! Dalton Kincaid had a drop that maybe, just maybe, could be written off as a contested catch against Chidobe Awuzie. But then Dawson Knox had one hit him square in the hands on a crossing route and he just let it go. Unbelievable.
But the absolute worst? Jackson Hawes. He had a middle screen hit him right in the bread basket and couldn’t secure it. Worse than that, he batted the ball high into the air, almost like he was setting it for a volleyball spike! Baltimore’s Broderick Washington Jr. just walked in and easily snagged the first interception of his seven-year career. That led to a short field and an easy touchdown for the Ravens. Later, Kincaid made a sweet catch on a deep ball in the fourth quarter, only to immediately follow it up with a wide-open drop. It was a complete microcosm of a day this usually dependable tight end group would probably rather forget.
Tyler Bass Saved the Day When Offense Stalled
When the offense was stuck in neutral for much of that first half, it was Tyler Bass who kept the scoreboard ticking. He was providing much of the scoring for Buffalo when we needed it most. He doinke
Despite the ups and downs, the Bills got the blowout win. Now, it’s straight into a Monday night matchup against the Minnesota Vikings next week. This team just keeps battling, and you gotta love that grit as they keep pushing through the regular season.
