The Buffalo Bills pulled off an improbable comeback over the Baltimore Ravens in a 41-40 stunning victory thanks to a costly mistake and an MVP performance from Josh Allen.In what had to be deja vu for Ravens fans, a Derrick Henry fumble in the fourth quarter opened up the window for the Bills’ comeback. Momentum had shifted in the Bills’ favor after they scored a touchdown on a fourth down, when receiver Keon Coleman caught off a deflection.The turnover was the only one in the game, and just like in the playoff loss to the Bills, it was too much for the Ravens to overcome. The defense had no answer for Josh Allen, who finished with 394 yards passing and four total touchdowns, including 251 and three touchdowns in the fourth quarter alone. Allen showed why he was the MVP last season and was key in the Bills’ comeback, making plays throwing and running the ball.The Ravens’ offense seemed unstoppable for most of the game, with their first punt not coming until the third quarter. They held a 40-25 lead prior to the Coleman touchdown, with Henry dominating on the ground with 169 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Zay Flowers did his part through the air with 143 yards on seven catches, but in the end, it was not enough. The fumble and the two stalled drives late in the fourth quarter led to their downfall.The defense really struggled to slow down the Bills, especially in that ill-fated fourth quarter. They only gave up 13 points in the first half and were able to hold the Bills to a pair of field goals instead of touchdowns. That was not the case in the second half as they allowed 28 more points, including kicker Matt Prater’s game-winning field goal as time expired. The Ravens could not get pressure on Allen, and he carved up the secondary, especially the newest corner, Jaire Alexander, who had a couple of mistakes and penalties that cost the Ravens.Another turning point happened after DeAndre Hopkins’ touchdown catch in the third quarter, as a fan pushed a couple Ravens players as they celebrated the touchdown. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson actually pushed the fan back, in an incident the NFL is sure to be looking into. This happened right before the Coleman touchdown-scoring drive and could have been a distraction to the Ravens in the fourth quarter. Henry also had a water bottle thrown at him on his 46-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.Lastly, rookie kicker Tyler Loop had a decent debut, but his costly miss of an extra point after the Ravens’ final touchdown allowed the Bills to kick a field goal for the win instead of a tie. He made both of his field goals, but that miss ended up being a major factor in the Ravens’ loss. UP NEXTThe Ravens return home to Baltimore to take on a familiar face in former quarterback Joe Flacco and the Cleveland Browns, who also lost their debut in a heartbreaker. They hope they can improve to 1-1 and 1-0 in the division and recover from this devastating loss.
