The first half appeared to be a reverse of Week 4, and two Lamar Jackson turnovers played a pivotal part in Baltimore trailing 21-10 after 30 minutes of football in Buffalo. The Bills held the Ravens to 73 yards rushing in the first half and 28 offensive plays. According to Next Gen Stats, Jackson has been under pressure on over half of his dropbacks (54.5%) for the first time since Week 4, 2023. Heโs been pressured 6 times and sacked once on 11 dropbacks (as of Damar Hamlinโs strip sack).
With the second half underway, here are seven takeaways from the first 30 minutes.

Dion Dawkins had a word with the official after this holding call. And for good reason. Bad call from the officials. #Bills #Ravens pic.twitter.com/Al8R6KZFWH
