If there’s one place the Bills can hope to exploit on the Ravens offense, it might be at center. Starting center Matt Skura’s season is over as the Ravens placed him on injured reserve a week or so ago. According to Ravens Wire, Skura was carted off two weeks ago against the Rams after a pile fell on the back of his legs while on the ground. Skura has been a starter for the Ravens since 2018 and graded at a 63.0 overall, per Pro Football Focus’ grading system. Without him, Patrick Mekari is filling in, an undrafted rookie.

But across the board, the Ravens’ offensive line is playing well this season. PFF ranks guard Marshal Yanda as the fourth-best at his position, as does tackle Ronnie Stanley. Across from Stanley is Orlando Brown Jr. as well, who’s PFF’s 22nd best graded tackle. Buffalo’s pass rush will be in for a tough battle.
