The Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen started the first series of the game with an interception which had many fans concerned.
However, the Bills were able to bounce back and finally get a victory in one-score games.
While the first half was ugly, Josh Allen and the Bills fought their way back into the game.
It was a tale of two halves, with the Bills gaining momentum and taking over the game in the second half.
The Bills victory was historic, in that this was their first win after trailing by 17+ points since week three of the 2011 season.
Josh Allen makes history
Josh Allen used his arms and his legs throughout the matchup, showcasing his elite abilities for the world to see.
Another instance in which the Bills win the game after Allen runs and passes for a touchdown in the same game, the team is now 22 and one when that dominant trend occurs.
Allen, for another week, was able to cement himself in the history books.
First half woes
The Ravens second drive extended nearly the entire length of the field for another touchdown. When the Bills needed to answer, Devin Singletary coughed the ball up for a costly fumble.
The first quarter was not the Bills' best effort, coming out of the game feeling flat. A nightmarish start for the team coming off a devastating loss.
The Ravens continued to put their foot on the gas, going up 20-3 with four minutes left in the first half.
The Bills were able to gather some much-needed momentum, driving down the field to score their first touchdown of the game.
Allen was able to connect with Isaiah McKenzie with 0:09 seconds left in the first half to make it a 10-point game.
Weather impacted the game
There were plenty of miscues on both teams due to the weather. The rain forced a couple of dropped passes for both the Bills and the Ravens throughout the matchup.
Seemingly, in the first half, the Bills were the victim of the weather while the Ravens struggled offensively to start the second half due to weather concerns.
Injury concerns come back
Jamison Crowder and Isaiah McKenzie suffered injuries throughout the game.
Crowder was carted off the field during the 2nd half, opening the door for Khalil Shakir to get some punt return work.
McKenzie caught a slant to convert a huge third down. During the catch, McKenzie was lit up by two Ravens defenders leaving him motionless on the field, a scary sight.
Dominant start to 2nd half
The Buffalo Bills' defense was able to hold Lamar and the Ravens offense to a three and out to start the half. Jackson had nowhere to go as the Bills' defensive line held him in check.
Tremaine Edmunds made his presence known, wreaking havoc on Lamar. Edmunds has had a remarkable 2022 campaign so far, showing his elite athleticism across the entire field.
The Bills then took to the field and the rest is history. Their rushing attack was surgical after a few big runs from both Allen and Singletary. Allen was able to convert a crucial fourth down which led to three points, bringing the game to within one score.
Ken Dorsey dialed up some magical run plays, allowing Josh Allen to torch the defense with his arm throughout the second half.
The defense showed up and made big plays in the second half. While the game was tied and Baltimore needed to make a move to get some momentum, Jordan Poyer found his way to an interception.
The cardiac kids strike again
The Bills, when in one-score games, never make it easy. The Bills were 0-7 the past few seasons in one score games.
Jordan Poyer was able to get his second interception of the game in the endzone, shutting down any momentum the Ravens had.
A crucial roughing against the passer penalty late in the fourth quarter gave the Bills the last bit of momentum to finish the game.
Allen was able to march down the field and Tyler Bass drilled a chip-shot field goal to win the game.
Allen finished his day going 19 of 36 for 213 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He added 11 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
The Bills are a wagon. This win was everything for a team looking to bounce back.
It may have been ugly, but good teams find a way to win.
