The Bills fell 24-17 to the Baltimore Ravens in their lone scheduled game against each other in 2019. Buffalo linebacker Matt Milano thinks another could be en route, though.
Despite the loss, at 9-4 the Bills and 11-2 Ravens are both in the fast lane to the playoffs. With that in mind, Milano said following the game he can envision a scenario where his team gets a second crack at beating Baltimore in the playoffs.
“Just keep building, put it behind us. Collect the tape tomorrow, come in, get that watched, and then, probably face them again later in the season,” Milano said.
While Milano was the latest victim of an incredble juke by Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, the defense played extremely well overall. Aside from a 59-10 win over the Dolphins on opening day which Jackson only carried the ball three times and was yanked early in the blowout, the playmaker had his lowest rushing-yard total of the year, only 40 yards.
In the end, it was mostly the Bills offense that wasn’t impressive. With the 59-point outing for the Ravens in mind, the Bills held them to only 24 points. Buffalo’s offense still had a chance at the end thanks to the defense, but eventually fell.
If facing the Ravens does happen again, the Bills offense knows they have to better. Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano called the Ravens the best team in the NFL after seeing what they can do first hand.
“I couldn’t tell you who the number one is right now. They were definitely physical up front. Real good team, coached well. They believe they’re the number one team, and they showed it,” Feliciano said.
