BILLS LEAD RAVENS 16-7 AT HALFTIME AS BALTIMORE USES THIRD QUARTERBACK

Buffalo Bills led Baltimore Ravens 16-7 at halftime, with kicker Tyler Bass's 51-yard field goal extending the margin to nine points. The Bills outgained the Ravens 202 yards to 52 across the first two quarters. Baltimore turned to its third-string quarterback, undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, after both Lamar Jackson and backup Tyler Huntley left the game with injuries. Fagnano completed five of eight passes for 50 yards and threw an interception.

Jackson left after throwing an incompletion on Baltimore's first play from scrimmage, sidelined by a right thumb injury. Huntley then departed in the second quarter with a toe injury, completing two of four passes for no yards. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen completed eight of 19 passes for 112 yards with an interception, and rushed for a one-yard touchdown on fourth down among seven carries for 30 yards. Wide receiver DJ Moore lost a fumble on his only catch, one of two Bills turnovers, and Buffalo also turned the ball over on downs. Running back James Cook carried the ball 14 times for 54 yards. Bass added field goals of 56 and 22 yards to his 51-yard kick.

Ravens running back Derrick Henry gained 26 yards on six carries but scored his 40th touchdown for Baltimore. The quarterback injuries left Baltimore relying on an undrafted rookie to run its offence. Buffalo's turnovers meant its halftime lead was smaller than its yardage advantage over Baltimore suggested. The outcome of the second half, including the final score, was not available at the time of writing.
