Lamar contained

When it was all said and done… the Bills defense certainly did their part… for the most part. The Ravens have an explosive offense and fantastic playmaker in Lamar Jackson under center. Everyone knew the Ravens would get some points, but a shootout never ensued.

While the offense struggled early, the gap never got too excessive early. The defense forced three-and-outs and gave the offense some chances. While this might be someone observers of the Bills are used to, many teams in the NFL this season have seen their defense have success and get absolutely toasted by the Ravens. Buffalo didn’t and proved itself against the best offense in the league, even intercepting the oft-cautious Lamar Jackson, who only had five interceptions entering the game, and had not thrown one since Week 5.
