- The Bills erased a fourth-quarter 15-point deficit to shock the Ravens 41-40 in a matchup of two of the AFC top squads, marking the second time Buffalo beat Baltimore by less than 2 points, dating back to last season’s divisional playoffs.
Buffalo Bills
- QB Josh Allen spearheaded Buffalo’s massive rally against Baltimore, finishing with 394 yards and 2 TD passes. The Bills picked up their 11th consecutive home victory, but Buffalo has lost three of its last four road games.

New York Jets
