Coach John Harbaugh went for a landing on fourth-and-goal with the sport tied at 20 as a substitute of getting Justin Tucker kick a straightforward go-ahead area objective. Quarterback Lamar Jackson threw an interception on the play, and the Bills marched the opposite means for the game-winning rating.
Players of the Game
RB J.Ok. Dobbins: Dobbins has but to regain all of his explosiveness as he works again from a catastrophic knee harm, however he was productive in opposition to a rugged Buffalo run protection, with 41 yards and a landing on the bottom and 4 catches on 4 targets for 22 yards and a landing as a receiver.
DT Justin Madubuike: Madubuike continued his breakout third season with three tackles, one for a loss, and two pressures. He has been the crew’s most constant inside defender via 4 video games.

Snap-count evaluation
Outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul performed 86% of the crew’s defensive snaps after working towards with the Ravens for simply three days. Fellow outdoors linebacker Odafe Oweh performed a career-high 95% of defensive snaps. Rookie defensive deal with Travis Jones performed 13 fewer snaps than he did in his debut the week earlier than. Defensive deal with Broderick Washington performed 25 defensive snaps, so the Ravens didn’t exchange injured nostril deal with Michael Pierce in a one-for-one sense, in all probability as a result of they didn’t want as many inside defenders to match up with Buffalo’s offense. They turned to Brandon Stephens as a transparent No. 3 possibility at cornerback, giving rookie Damarion “Pepe” Williams zero defensive snaps. Rookie security Kyle Hamilton performed simply 17 defensive snaps regardless of his robust efficiency the earlier week.
Running again J.Ok. Dobbins performed 9 extra snaps than he did the earlier week, partially as a result of Justice Hill damage his hamstring within the second half. It might be attention-grabbing to see whom the Ravens pair with Dobbins if Hill is out for a big stretch. Wide receiver Rashod Bateman performed a season-low 31 snaps, maybe due to an harm, although Harbaugh was not clear on that after the sport. Both Devin Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson performed greater than Bateman. Tight finish Nick Boyle didn’t play any offensive snaps and it’s not clear if he has a path to reclaim a extra important position.
