Derrick Henry and the Ravens overwhelm Buffalo and give the Bills their first loss of the season

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills' undefeated streak is over.

The Bills struggled on the bounce Sunday night in Baltimore and found themselves on the wrong side of a blowout at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens, behind another great night from Derrick Henry, posted a dominant 35-10 win, handing the Bills their first loss of the year.

On the Ravens' first offensive play of the night, Henry broke out with a wild 87-yard touchdown run to give them an immediate lead. It was the longest touchdown run in team history and Henry's third of at least 85 yards in his career. On their next drive, Henry also caught a 5-yard touchdown pass.

The Ravens took a 21-3 halftime lead after completely shutting down Allen and the Bills, who managed just 90 team yards in the first 30 minutes.

The Ravens didn't let up in the second half either. They quickly pushed forward and secured the 25-point victory after Lamar Jackson and fullback Patrick Ricard reached the end zone. That put them at 2-2 this season.

Josh Allen went 16 of 29 for 180 yards in the loss for Buffalo. James Cook added 39 rushing yards on nine carries and Khalil Shakir had 62 receiving yards on four carries.

Jackson completed 13 of 18 for 156 yards and threw two touchdowns. He ran in another touchdown and had 54 rushing yards on six carries. Henry finished the game with 199 yards on the ground and two total touchdowns. Justice Hill also had 78 yards and a score on six catches.

  • Final: Ravens 35, Bills 10

    And this one is over. The Bills lost their first game of the year and Derrick Henry totaled 199 yards on the ground with two total touchdowns.

  • Touchdown, Ravens

    The Ravens fumbled into the end zone, but Patrick Ricard recovered it for a touchdown. Baltimore's lead is now 35-10.

  • End 3: Ravens 28, Bills 10

    The Bills also narrowly missed a 48-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter, so the Ravens will take the lead around midfield. We're almost done here.

  • Touchdown, Ravens

    Lamar Jackson just scored a touchdown for Baltimore after the fumble recovery. The Ravens now lead 28-10 in the third period.

  • Josh Allen is on the ground after a fumble

    The Bills attempted a flea flicker, but it failed completely and resulted in a fumble recovery by the Ravens. Allen was also hit hard after losing the ball and is now being watched from the sidelines.

  • Bills get a big stop

    The Bills just made a big stop and will now get the ball back after the Ravens' second straight punt of the night.

    If the comeback is to happen, Josh Allen will need to convert that into points quickly.

  • Josh Allen sets up a TD for the Bills

    I have no idea how Josh Allen did it, but it set up a short touchdown run by Ty Johnson on the very next play. What a ridiculous sequence for the Bills.

    The Ravens' lead is now 21-10.

  • Halftime: Ravens 21, Bills 3

    Baltimore will also get the ball at halftime.

    Halftime statistics

    Ravens: 21

    Lamar Jackson: 11 of 13 for 135 yards, 2 touchdowns

    Derrick Henry: 9 runs, 109 rushing yards, 2 total touchdowns

    Team yards: 281

    Bills: 3

    Josh Allen: 9 of 16 for 42 yards

    James Cook: 5 runs, 27 rushing yards

    Team yards: 90

  • Once again bills are missing

    Even after a delay of game (which was due to a coaching error by John Harbaugh) gave the Bills a free first down and kept their drive alive, the Ravens got another stop and forced a fourth-down punt from Buffalo.

    The Ravens will now get the ball back with 42 seconds left before halftime.

  • Ravens fumble around

    This is the first mistake of the night for Baltimore. Lamar Jackson had knocked the ball out and the Bills recovered the fumble, giving them a big break before the two-minute warning.

    They now have to convert these into points if they want to have a chance of a comeback in the second half.

  • Bills sting again

    Nothing is working for Josh Allen and the Bills today. After another sack from Kyle Van Noy, they're ready to punt again.

  • Ravens 21, Bills 3

    Lamar Jackson had just hit Justice Hill for a 19-yard touchdown and the Ravens were suddenly up 21-3 midway through the second quarter.

  • Ravens force a quick punt

    The Ravens just forced a three-and-out and will get the ball back. This thing could quickly get out of control.

  • Derrick Henry scores again

    Derrick Henry just scored his second touchdown of the night. He caught a short 5-yard touchdown pass to open the second quarter, and the Ravens suddenly had a 14-3 lead.

    That was Henry's first touchdown catch since 2019.

  • End of 1: Ravens 7, Bills 3

    The Ravens threaten to score again. They begin the second quarter at the Bills' 5-yard line.

  • Derrick Henry's historic run

    Derrick Henry's 87-yard touchdown run was the longest rushing touchdown in Ravens history.

    It was also Henry's third career rushing touchdown of at least 85 yards. Only two other players in NFL history have three or more rushing touchdowns of that length.

  • Ravens 7, Bills 3

    Josh Allen got the Bills going again, but their drive stalled just past midfield. So they'll have to settle for a 50-yard field goal from Tyler Bass.

    The Ravens' lead is now four.

  • Derrick Henry scores again

    Well, that was easy. Derrick Henry just opened an 87-yard touchdown run to give the Ravens the go-ahead on their first offensive play of the night.

    Baltimore now leads 7-0.

  • Josh Allen and the Bills reached about midfield and converted a short fourth down, but the Ravens made the stop and forced a punt.

    Lamar Jackson will now come out and start his drive from his own 13.
