Buffalo Bills defense dominates Ravens after QB injuries
Key Points:
- The Buffalo Bills defense dominated the Baltimore Ravens in a 36-10 victory, capitalizing on the Ravens losing both starting quarterback Lamar Jackson and backup Tyler Huntley to injuries early in the game.
- The Bills blitzed on 66.7% of Ravens' dropbacks, more than double their usual rate, leading to four sacks and multiple turnovers, with key contributions from players like Cole Bishop and Greg Rousseau.
- Despite missing starters C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Dee Alford, the Bills' secondary excelled with Damar Hamlin and Te’Cory Couch effectively shutting down top receiver Zay Flowers, who was held to zero catches on five targets.
- Rookie tackle Tylan Grable started in place of the injured Spencer Brown and performed exceptionally well, allowing only one pressure on 42 pass block snaps, demonstrating strong depth on the offensive line.
- Wide receiver D.J. Moore returned from injury, catching four passes for 82 yards and a touchdown, though he suffered a minor knee hyperextension late in the game; quarterback Josh Allen praised Moore's impact on the offense.
