BALTIMORE — In a matchup of star quarterbacks, Josh Allen led the Buffalo Bills to a come-from-behind 23-20 win with a decisive final drive, handing the Ravens another loss after a second straight second-half collapse in Baltimore.
Kicker Tyler Bass’ 21-yard field goal as time expired, the last action of a 12-play, 77-yard drive that ended the game, concluded Buffalo’s 20-0 run inside M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens have now lost five straight at home, a franchise record. Next up is a test against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals, the defending AFC North champions.
With a strong second half, Allen outplayed quarterback Lamar Jackson, the early favorite for NFL Most Valuable Player honors. Allen finished 19-for-36 for 213 yards, a touchdown and an interception, as well as 11 carries for 70 yards. He also called for and received a roughing-the-passer penalty on the Bills’ go-ahead drive after a hit by cornerback Brandon Stephens.
