Game Preview: Perfect 3-0 Buffalo Bills Keys To Soaring Past Baltimore Ravens
The perfect 3-0 Buffalo Bills travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens in a key AFC matchup. Two top-tier quarterbacks 2023 MVP Lamar Jackson and 2024 MVP frontrunner Josh Allen will face off against one another for the first time since 2022.
Head-To-Head series
The Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills have played a total of eleven times, with the Ravens leading the head-to-head series 6-5. The last matchup was a 23-20 come-from-behind victory for the Buffalo Bills in October 2022. Two significant plays in that game were Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense going for it on 4th and goal, leading to Jordan Poyer intercepting Jackson. The second play was a Tyler Bass 21-yard field goal with seconds left to secure the 23-20 win for the Buffalo Bills.
Injuries
Baltimore Ravens
CB Jaylin Armour-Davis, C Tyler Linderbaum, OL Patrick Mekari, LB Roquan Smith, and OL Andrew Vorhees were all unable to complete the full practice for the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday. While their game statuses are currently unknown, it is something to monitor for the Ravens as they approach the 8:15 p.m. kickoff against the Bills.
Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills have been relatively healthy throughout the last few games. Head Coach Sean McDermott has told reporters that the team will be without LB Terrel Bernard and CB Taron Johnson. The team has excelled though with LB Baylon Spector and CB Cam Lewis/Ja’Marcus Ingram taking over.
How Buffalo Can Remain Perfect
1. Take Care Of the Football
In Buffalo’s last matchup against the Ravens, both teams turned the ball over two times. Josh Allen, through three games, has done a perfect job taking care of the football. He has only one turnover so far this season and is proving that life without Stefon Diggs is fine.
2. Contain Lamar Jackson
Lamar Jackson is one of the greatest athletes in the NFL. While Buffalo will not be perfect at containing Jackson, you have to limit the amount of big plays he makes. If Buffalo can get pressure with their defensive ends on the outside, look for players like DT Ed Oliver to feast in the middle with sacks.
3. Create Third and Longs
We cannot go through this article without mentioning one of the best running backs in the game: Derrick Henry. The Bills will have their hands full trying to put eight men in the box to stop Henry and Jackson. Baltimore is utilizing twelve personnel which is similar to what Buffalo runs. Buffalo needs to create third and longs to make it harder for Jackson to convert. While they won’t be perfect at stopping the Ravens offense, Buffalo needs to limit big plays.
Final Thoughts
The perfect Buffalo Bills traveling to Maryland to take on the Baltimore Ravens is an intimidating matchup between two high-profile offenses with aspirations of playing in the Super Bowl. This game is a must-watch for football fans, as we will get to see two elite quarterbacks clash against each other. Expect this game to be a high-scoring game that could have some interesting plays from the defense. Whichever team wins the turnover battle should win the game.
