Final: BAL 10 @ BUF 36

Allen Torches Baltimore Three Ways in 36-10 Blowout

Quick Answer

Josh Allen threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns, ran for a third, and Buffalo never let Baltimore breathe in a 36-10 dismantling on Sunday. The Bills didn't just win — they made a statement with four different players finding the end zone.

Allen was the engine, but this wasn't a one-man show. He finished 21-of-34 through the air with 289 yards and two passing touchdowns, then added 30 yards on 7 carries and punched in a rushing score himself. That kind of three-phase production looks nearly impossible to game-plan against, and Baltimore had no answer for it. Dalton Kincaid hauled in 4 catches for 86 yards and a touchdown. DJ Moore added 4 receptions for 82 yards and a score. Khalil Shakir chipped in 5 catches for 64 yards. When four pass-catchers are each doing real damage, a defense doesn't get to cheat toward any single threat — and it appears Baltimore's unit was spread impossibly thin all afternoon.

James Cook III handled the ground game with authority, carrying 21 times for 80 yards and a touchdown while adding 2 catches for 21 yards. That workload tells its own story: Buffalo was comfortable running the ball, comfortable in the pocket, and comfortable enough to let Cook absorb contact late in a game that was already decided. The Bills' offense looked like a machine with no loose parts.

Baltimore's lone bright spot was Derrick Henry, who carried 11 times for 53 yards and found the end zone once. He also caught 2 passes for 7 yards. Henry did what Henry does — he competed — but 53 yards on 11 carries against a defense that clearly had the game in hand by the second half isn't the kind of performance that changes outcomes. The Ravens finished with 10 points, and it's hard to look at this box score and argue they were ever truly in it. Buffalo's 26-point margin of victory appears to reflect a genuine talent gap on this particular Sunday, not a fluke sequence of events. The Bills got contributions from every level of their roster and never needed to manufacture anything — the offense simply worked.
