The Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens have one half of their Week 8 matchup in the books. Entering the locker room at the break, Buffalo holds a 16-7 lead. However, the first half was overshadowed by injuries, particularly to the Ravens’ quarterback room.
On the first play from scrimmage for the Baltimore offense, Lamar Jackson, who was making his return after missing the past three games with an ankle injury, hurt his right thumb on an incomplete pass intended for Zay Flowers. On the follow-through, Jackson’s hand can be seen colliding with Bills pass rusher Greg Rousseau. Jackson immediately jogged to the sideline, was taken into the locker room, and was ruled out rather quickly.
That thrust Tyler Huntley back in under center, and the backup led Baltimore on a touchdown drive to cut into the Bills lead. That was until he suffered a toe injury that knocked him out of the game and officially has him listed as questionable to return. Because he was sidelined, the Ravens turned to emergency third quarterback Joe Fagnano, an undrafted rookie out of UConn.
Fagnano finished the half with 50 yards on 5-of-8 passing and one interception. Huntley had two completions on four throws before he left.
Will the Ravens be able to overcome these injuries at quarterback? Will the Bills hold onto their lead to move to 6-1? We’re about to find out. As the second half unfolds, check out our live blog of Sunday’s contest. Below, you can find expert analysis and real-time highlights of all the top plays.
