The Ravens suffered another heartbreaking loss to the Bills to start the new NFL season, and in doing so, they made the wrong kind of history.
Arguably, the biggest matchup in Week 1 of the new NFL season was the Baltimore Ravens visiting the Buffalo Bills. It was a rematch of last season’s divisional round playoff game, as well as a matchup between quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, who finished second and first, respectively, in the MVP balloting in 2024.
This game was an instant classic. Baltimore took control in the second quarter and held a 40-25 lead in the fourth quarter before Allen led a spirited comeback that culminated with a Matt Prater field goal with no time left. The Bills won, 41-40.
For Baltimore, running back Derrick Henry ran for 169 yards and two touchdowns while wide receiver Zay Flowers had seven catches for 143 yards.
