The Story in 60 Seconds

BuffaLowDown's Brandon Ray writes that the Buffalo Bills earned an encouraging 36-10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. The Ravens faced severe quarterback adversity after Lamar Jackson exited with a thumb injury requiring surgery, followed by Tyler Huntley suffering a turf toe injury. This left emergency third-string quarterback Joe Fagnano to lead Baltimore's offense for most of the contest.

Ray argues that despite facing an emergency quarterback, the game provided a promising takeaway for Buffalo's struggling defense under defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard. The Bills' defense held the Ravens to 144 total yards, forced three turnovers, tallied four sacks, and allowed James Cook's rushing touchdown to help secure a decisive win.
