Bills Rout Ravens 36-10 as Lamar Jackson Heads to Injured Reserve
Josh Allen broke Buffalo's career touchdown-pass record in a 36-10 rout of Baltimore, who placed Lamar Jackson on injured reserve with a thumb injury that needs surgery.
The Buffalo Bills routed the Baltimore Ravens 36-10 on Sunday, and the result may have changed the course of Baltimore's season. Josh Allen threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for another score, and his 11-yard touchdown pass to DJ Moore with 12:18 left was the 259th of his career including postseason play, breaking Jim Kelly's franchise record. The Bills improved to 6-1 with a third straight win. For Baltimore, the damage went far beyond the scoreline. Lamar Jackson hurt his right thumb on the team's first offensive snap, needs surgery, and was placed on injured reserve on Monday, with head coach Jesse Minter saying he could potentially miss the rest of the season. Back-up Tyler Huntley also left with a toe injury in the first half, forcing undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano into his NFL debut; he completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards as Baltimore managed just 144 yards of total offence. The Ravens fell to 4-4 with a third straight defeat, and their season now hinges on how long their franchise quarterback is gone.
