At halftime of “Sunday Night Football,” the visiting Baltimore Ravens lead the Buffalo Bills by a score of 20-13.
Buffalo actually jumped out to a hot start thanks to a big kickoff return and a quick touchdown drive that saw Josh Allen hit Dalton Kincaid for the team’s first score of the season, but the offense slowed down from there while the defense could not contain Baltimore’s explosive run game.
Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson repeatedly sliced through the Bills’ defense, with Henry gashing them up the middle and Jackson doing so to the outside. Henry ripped off an especially impressive touchdown run featuring a trademark stiff-arm and another one-cut run later on that resulted in a 49-yard gain. At the break, he has nine carries for 123 yards and a score, while Jackson has four for 38 yards and an end-zone trip of his own.
The Bills were in danger of falling even further behind toward the end of the first half as the Ravens drove deep into Buffalo territory, but Joey Bosa knocked the ball out of Justice Hill’s hands on a zone read run and turned a potential touchdown drive into a field goal instead. Then, Josh Allen put on his Superman cape and led a field goal drive of his own despite being afforded only 25 seconds and no timeouts, helping his team cut the lead back to just one score.
Will the Ravens hang on for the road victory, or will the Bills stage a second-half comeback? We’ll find out soon enough. Keep it locked to our live blog throughout the rest of the evening as we update you with stats, scores and highlights.
