The Baltimore Ravens were flying on their first play from scrimmage on Sunday night. Lamar Jackson gave the ball to Derrick Henry and 87 yards later, the Ravens had the lead.
That was the theme of the evening as Patrick Ricard and company hammered the Bills while Henry and Jackson ran over them in a 35-10 victory.
87 YARDS, the LONGEST run in @Ravens franchise history!! 😱

There was a wonderful moment for the 300-pound fullback Ricard in the fourth quarter.
Henry took a handoff and was headed for the end zone but fumbled the football. There was a scrum in the end zone and who came out of the pile with it? Ricard.
Not the way they drew it up, but it’s a @Ravens TD by fullback @PRic508 😤
