The Buffalo Bills are fresh off a win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1.

During that contest, the Bills (1-0) turned it all the way around and took a late 41-40 win over the Ravens. Considering it’s a victory (and a dramatic one at that), it’s likely that Buffalo will be moving on up in this week’s new power rankings.

With that, here’s how the Bills fare in national media power rankings polls heading into Week 2:

2. Buffalo Bills (5): QB Josh Allen won Sunday night’s battle of MVPs with Lamar Jackson. Buffalo won’t face another team that made the postseason in 2024 or a former MVP until the Chiefs come to Western New York in Week 9 … which means an apparently smooth road to building equity into a No. 1 playoff seed for the Bills.

Week 1 Result: Won vs. Baltimore 41-40

The matchup between the Bills and Ravens felt like a pair of heavyweight prize-fighters going punch for punch.

The Ravens did have the Bills on the ropes, but the latter came out swinging in the latter rounds and landed the knockout blow.

Buffalo trailed by 15 points with 7:27 left to play. During its final three possessions, Josh Allen and Co. scored a pair of touchdowns, plus the game-winning field goal.

In doing so, the Bills won their first game when trailing by 15 or more points in the fourth quarter since 1967, per the NBC telecast. To understand how long ago that really was, Joe Namath was in his third season with the losing team, the New York Jets.

It would be easy to point toward things the Bills could have done better after surrendering 432 yards. The Ravens are that good, though. Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry are a deadly combination. Any type of win over an elite opponent should be viewed as something special.

Buffalo’s roster isn’t perfect, particularly in the secondary, but all things are possible when the reigning MVP is leading the way.

Sunday: Beat Ravens 41-40

First impression: Never count out Josh Allen

Following his Bills debut, former Charger Joey Bosa sounded like he was in shock after watching Allen, the reigning MVP, go 33-of-46 passing for 394 yards with four total touchdowns in engineering an incredible comeback win. “It’s a lesson for me to know it’s never over until it’s over,” Bosa told our Tim Graham.

2. Buffalo Bills (+1)

Josh Allen had to hear the MVP chants for Lamar Jackson in his own stadium. Then he got up off the mat and led three scoring drives in the final seven-plus minutes to pull off the most improbable comeback imaginable. Allen was MVP-level good; in the fourth quarter alone, he completed 16 of 21 passes for 251 yards (all three figures higher than what Jackson produced in the entire game) and a touchdown, while also running for two scores. For three-plus quarters, the Ravens looked to be the better team, as Jackson and Derrick Henry ran roughshod over the Bills. Buffalo’s defense rallied late, but Baltimore had scored on seven of eight possessions to start the game. And therein lies the one thing holding me back with the Bills: their difficulty, year over year, slowing down top-tier offenses. Of course, in the here and now, that only means so much. The Jets and Patriots lost at home, and the Dolphins were obliterated in Indianapolis. This is all about the march to January and whether the Bills can solve their defensive issues before tournament time.

3. Buffalo Bills (no change)

Chance of making playoffs: 91%Chance of winning Super Bowl: 14%

You’d be forgiven for calling it curtains for the Bills after Derrick Henry scored his second touchdown of the game to put the Ravens 40-25 up with just over 11 minutes remaining in the game. But, behind an excellent Josh Allen performance, Buffalo rallied to score 16 points in the final four minutes of the game, including a game-winning field goal as time expired. Allen earned an 87.0 PFF overall grade, sparked by 394 passing yards and five total touchdowns, and the Bills are, somehow, off to a winning start.

While the NFL rarely conforms to the narratives we all conjure in our heads, how is the final home opener of that beloved old stadium housing an absolute epic not the precursor to a starlit season that ends with a curse-erasing Super Bowl? Josh Allen throwing for almost 300 yards in the fourth quarter—more than all but eight of the week’s starting quarterbacks threw through four quarters—is so incredibly hard to fathom in the modern NFL.

Best newcomer performance: K Matt Prater

Prater, 41, arrived in Buffalo on a red-eye flight Thursday. He kicked with the team on Friday, then proceeded to hit the 32-yard winner as time expired Sunday. The 19-year veteran is playing because Tyler Bass went on injured reserve (left hip/groin), and he made every kick (3-3 in FG attempts and 2-2 in PATs). “The oldest guy in the world, ain’t he? Shoot, I’m thankful for him,” left tackle Dion Dawkins joked. “Keep your old ass with the Bills. … I’m glad that somebody could come in on Thursday and help us big.”
