The Buffalo Bills returned to their winning ways with a hard-fought, come-from-behind victory on the road against the Baltimore Ravens.

The final score was 23-20 Bills.

The Bills recovered from a sluggish first half. Turnover issues reared their ugly in the first half, as Buffalo committed two turnovers on their first three drives.

A tipped Josh Allen pass ended Buffalo’s opening drive after only three plays. Running back Devin Singletary fumbled on the third drive with the Bills trailing 14-3.

Baltimore had complete control of the game in the early going. The Bills defense had its back against the wall, as the Ravens opening drive started on the Buffalo five-yard-line. Baltimore would go on to put up points on their first four offensive drives, including two JK Dobbins touchdowns and two Justin Tucker field goals.

Buffalo went down 20-3 midway through the second quarter. Then Buffalo’s fortunes change for the Bills.

First, the defense worked more on containing Lamar Jackson. Jackson did what the former MVP is known for: breaking loose and extending plays.

Buffalo worked more stunts and kept Jackson in the pocket as long as possible. The secondary did a great job blanketing Jackson’s receiving options. Jackson ended the day with a mediocre 20-of-29 passing day for 144 passing yards. He added 73 yards on the ground on 11 carries.

The Bills offense slowly gained momentum in the second half, moving the ball methodically on the ground and through the air. Buffalo scored points on three of their four second-half drives.

While they didn’t hit the big play today due to the weather, Buffalo’s offense did a better job in the second half with hitting timing routes and moving the ball efficiently.

The reformation of the offensive line helped the cause as well.

The unit was decimated with injuries last week. With the original starting five back in tow, the Bills were more assertive on the ground and gave Allen better pockets from which to throw.

Allen finished the game 19-of-36 for 213 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He ran 11 times for 70 yards and a touchdown as well.

The Bills defense pitched a shutout in the second half. With Jackson being limited by the front four, the secondary kept the Ravens receivers in check.

Safety Jordan Poyer had two interceptions. Ultimately, Poyer had the play of the game, a microcosm of how the Bills defense kept Jackson from breaking out later in the game.

On fourth and goal at Buffalo’s two-yard-line, Ravens coach John Harbaugh elected to go for it instead of attempting a sure-fire field goal. The defensive line forced Jackson backward and the secondary blanketed the receivers.

Poyer ended the Ravens 14-play drive with a turnover:

The defense stepped up as the game progressed. Buffalo’s linebackers were everywhere on the field. Matt Milano led the way with 13 total tackles, while Tremaine Edmunds added nine tackles. Von Miller recorded a sack, while DaQuan Jones and Greg Rousseau combined for a sack.

Devin Singletary had a nice day on the ground, rushing for 49 yards on 11 carries. He was also effective as a receiver, though, catching four passes for 47 receiving yards, including a big play to drive the Bills deep into Ravens territory late in the game.

The Bills move into a tie for first place in the AFC East with the win. The victory is big for Buffalo, as it could have playoff seeding implications, as Baltimore is a team that is predicted to be at the top of the AFC North standings.

The Bills take on the Pittsburgh Steelers next week at Highmark Stadium.

WATCH: Early turnovers hamper Bills early vs. Ravens

WATCH: Early turnovers hamper #Bills early vs. #Ravens:

The Buffalo Bills trail the Baltimore Ravens, 14-3, in the first half. A big reason is the turnovers the Bills have committed.

The Ravens got an early interception from cornerback Marlon Humphrey. He intercepted Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen on the first drive of the game.

Later in the opening half, Bills running back Devin Singletary coughed up the ball. He fumbled in Buffalo territory.

The Bills will need to clean up their mistakes in an effort to get back in this game in Baltimore.

Check out both turnovers below:

Josh to Devin for the #Bills TD:

The Buffalo Bills were not scared to roll the dice early against the Miami Dolphins in Week 3.

Taking the opening drive all the way to the goal line, Buffalo did not opt for the field goal on fourth down. It paid off as running back Devin Singletary opened up the scoring with a touchdown in the end.

But this was not a goal-line carry. Rather, quarterback Josh Allen put a touch pass into Singletary’s hands for the touchdown.

Instant analysis: Bills demolish Titans on Monday Night Football

Instant analysis: #Bills demolish #Titans on Monday Night Football (via @jdiloro):

The Buffalo Bills dominated the Tennessee Titans 41-7 on Monday Night Football.

The game was so lopsided that most of the starters for both teams were on the bench in the fourth quarter.

Buffalo’s offense continued to overwhelm an opposing defense. QB Josh Allen threw four touchdowns in three quarters of work.

Allen, once again, worked his magic, extending plays and finding his receivers at will. Allen carved up the Titans defense, going 26-of-38 for 317 passing yards.

The biggest recipient of Allen’s big day was Stefon Diggs, who caught 12 passes for 148 yards and three touchdowns. Diggs put on a clinic against the Titans secondary, finding space with little resistance:

The Bills offense showed it would be a force right from the opening drive. Buffalo drove down the throat of Tennessee’s defense in 12 plays in just under six minutes, culminating with a stellar effort by Reggie Gilliam to get into the end zone:

Allen also spread the wealth, as Jake Kumerow, Isaiah McKenzie, Dawson Knox, Jamison Crowder, Quintin Morris, and Devin Singletary caught passes throughout the game. The unit did a great job in place of wideout Gabriel Davis, who missed the game due to an ankle injury.

One of the big concerns coming into the contest was how the Bills would handle Derrick Henry.

Well, Buffalo absolutely shut down Henry, as the 2020 All-Pro could only muster 25 rushing yards on 13 carries, good for a feeble 1.9 yards per carry.

The Bills defensive front was nothing short of remarkable, limiting anything resembling a decent run attack. Buffalo forced Henry laterally and often, did not allow the running back to gain footing moving upfield.

Buffalo cleaned up their turnover issues from the previous week, completing flipping the field multiple times. Matt Milano and Jordan Poyer each had an interception on the evening. Boogie Basham recovered a Malik Willis fumble. On top of those plays, the Bills also recovered a muffed punt on Sam Martin’s first punt of the year.

Tremaine Edmunds and Greg Rousseau registered sacks. The multiple looks that Buffalo gave to Tannehill consistently confused the veteran signal-caller, as the Bills deflected eight of Tannehill’s passes.

On top of that, the Bills registered eight tackles for loss.

Buffalo allowed only 182 total yards. They allowed a Derrick Henry rushing touchdown on the Titans opening drive. After that score, Buffalo completely shut down the Tennessee offense. The Bills would score 34 unanswered points in the blowout victory.

This start to the season is arguably the best in Bills history. All facets of the team are firing on all cylinders. The play calls from coordinators Leslie Frazier and Ken Dorsey on defense and offense, respectively, have put the team in an ideal position to continue their dominance.

Buffalo looks to continue their stellar start next week, as they travel to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday for their first AFC East matchup of the 2022 campaign.
