September 30 – Derrick Henry ran for 199 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries to lead the host Baltimore Ravens to a 35–10 win over the previously undefeated Buffalo Bills on Sunday night.

Henry’s 87-yard touchdown run on the Ravens’ first play was the longest in franchise history. He fell one yard short of the seventh 200-yard rushing game of his career.

Lamar Jackson completed 13 of 18 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 54 yards and a score. His favorite receiver is running back Justice Hill (6 catches, 78 yards, 1 touchdown).

Baltimore (2-2) has won back-to-back games and improved to 21-3 at home in prime time under head coach John Harbaugh.

Josh Allen completed 16 of 29 passes for 180 yards for the Bills (3-1). He was sacked three times, while Baltimore’s Kyle Van Noy was sacked for the third time in a row.

Henry’s long run came on an easy pass behind the right tackle. He cut off a punt, hit it in the hole, and then sprinted downfield for a stunning first touchdown that thrilled the home crowd.

Tyler Bass’ 50-yard field goal gave the Bills the lead, but Baltimore’s second drive ended with Henry’s 5-yard touchdown catch early in the quarter for the first time since 2019.

Hill pressured the defense for an easy 19-yard touchdown run with 7:34 remaining in the second half, giving Baltimore their third touchdown. At halftime, the Ravens led 21–3 and outgained the Bills 281–90.

In the third quarter, Allen ran around right tackle on third-and-5 and threw a 52-yard pass to a wide-open Khalil Shakir before stepping out of bounds in the final seconds. Ty Johnson ran around the left sideline for a 3-yard touchdown on the next play.

On the Bills’ next possession, Buffalo attempted to punt the kickoff straight to receiver Curtis Samuel, who swiped left to pass to Allen. But when Allen attempted to pass, Van Noy stole the ball and Kyle Hamilton recovered the fumble for the Ravens.

With 2 minutes and 45 seconds left in the third quarter, Hill caught and ran for 17 yards, and Jackson ran 9 yards to the right corner of the end zone, making the score 28–10.

Bass’ 48-yard field goal attempt in the first quarter of the fourth quarter missed wide left.

Henry almost scored another touchdown on the ensuing drive, but Russell Douglas knocked the ball loose on the Buffalo 2-yard line and the ball bounced into the end zone. The Ravens took over and veteran linebacker Patrick Ricard scored his first touchdown of the season.
