‘Sunday Night Football’ highlights: Ravens beat the Bills 35-10

Must read

And then there were three. 

After previously undefeated Buffalo never led Sunday night in its prime-time loss at Baltimore, only Kansas City, Minnesota and Seattle remain unbeaten one month into the NFL season.

Kansas City moved to 4-0 by rallying from 10 points down to beat the Chargers in Los Angeles. Minnesota (4-0) jumped out to a 28-0 lead, then barely hung on to outlast Green Bay. Seattle (3-0) plays Monday against the Detroit Lions.

Under the primetime spotlight Sunday night, Buffalo lost 35-10 in Baltimore in a game in which the Bills (3-1) were uncomfortable from the very first play from scrimmage, when Ravens running back Derrick Henry burst through the offensive line’s right side, untouched, for an 87-yard touchdown run. 

The Ravens improved to 2-2 by surviving a 19-minute scoreless stretch between the second and third quarters by creating big plays with perfect timing, starting with Henry’s tone-setting opening touchdown. When Buffalo cut its deficit to 21-10 early in the third quarter, Baltimore’s Kyle Van Noy wasn’t fooled by a trick play and forced a fumble by Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen. Baltimore scored on the ensuing drive, pushing its lead to 18, and the game was never in doubt again.

Henry finished with 199 rushing yards, his second game of 100-plus yards on the ground this season after doing that just four times all of last year.
