Total Blackout: Ravens step into their bully ball identity and steamroll the Bills

The locker room: 

The Ravens won by the skin of their beaks last week against the Cowboys.

Most of all, they didn’t beat themselves, even though they almost did.

The game was the tale of two birds. The first, the dominant run-heavy play-action old school team fans have grown accustomed to cheering for in Baltimore.

The second one is not so dominant and tends to give up double-digit leads late in games.

This is a bird fans have been seeing all too often lately. The purple and black can’t take their foot off the gas this week.

Josh Allen and the Bills are in town. Through the first 3 weeks, Buffalo looks like the best team in the league.
 

Josh has cut back on the turnovers and ramped up the firepower in the absence of Maryland native Stefon Diggs.

The Game:

Quarter 1:

Ravens defense stops the Bills.

OMG! Derrick Henry shot out of cannon for an 87-yard TD on the Ravens first play on offense.

This is the longest run in Ravens running history!

Score: 7-3

Quarter 2:

Score: 14-3

The Ravens continue to take exactly what the Bills are giving them and more. Slicing and dicing down the field.

Luckily, the Ravens defense force the Bills to go three and out. Mistake is erased.

Halftime: 21-3

Final Score: 35-10

The Ravens get back on track with a dominant win against the Bills. They stuck to their identity of playing smashmouth ball. Guess what? Great things happened. Go figure.

Lamar finishes with 156 passing yards and 2 TDs, and Derrick Henry ran for 199 rushing yards and 2 TDs.

What a night for Baltimore sports fans!
