Derrick Henry’s Historic Performance Propels Ravens to Commanding Win, Halts Bills' Perfect Season

Sunday, September 29th, 2024

In Baltimore, Derrick Henry's outstanding initial run provided the Ravens with an early advantage. Lamar Jackson's touchdown passes and runs energized the offense, culminating in a 35-10 victory over Buffalo and halting the Bills' unbeaten streak.

Henry's 87-yard touchdown run set the stage, and despite a fumble near the goal line, Patrick Ricard secured the win with a touchdown. Jackson completed 13 of 18 passes, amassing 156 yards and two touchdowns, in addition to rushing for 54 yards. Henry also caught a 5-yard touchdown pass, his first since 2019.

Buffalo had difficulty containing Baltimore's offense, highlighting the team's lack of depth and experience. Josh Allen's fumbles and his 16-of-29 passing performance compounded the Bills' issues. Statistically, the Ravens dominated by outgaining the Bills 427 yards to 236.

Buffalo's defense was hampered by injuries, with Taylor Rapp suffering a concussion and Khalil Shakir and Connor McGovern briefly exiting the game. Baltimore's Andrew Vorhees missed the game due to an ankle injury, leading to Roger Rosengarten's first career start at right tackle.

The victory ended Buffalo's 43-game streak without a loss by six or more points and their eight-game regular-season winning streak. Next week, the Bills will face Houston, while the Ravens will travel to Cincinnati.
