Live Updates:
At halftime of Sunday Night Football, the Ravens hold a 20-13 lead over the Bills in a high-stakes Week 1 showdown.
Buffalo came out swinging, sparked by a huge kickoff return and a rapid-fire touchdown drive, capped by Josh Allen connecting with Dalton Kincaid for the Bills’ first score of the season. But momentum stalled as Buffalo’s offense struggled to sustain drives, and its defense couldn’t slow Baltimore’s punishing ground attack.
Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson repeatedly shredded the Bills’ front seven. Henry plowed up the middle with textbook power running, including a highlight-reel touchdown featuring his signature stiff-arm. He later ripped off a one-cut burst for 49 yards, consistently forcing Buffalo defenders to miss tackles.
Meanwhile, Jackson’s dual-threat prowess wreaked havoc on the edge, turning designed runs and read-option plays into chunk yardage and a red-zone touchdown. By halftime, Henry has racked up 123 yards and a score on nine carries, while Jackson adds 38 yards on four touches with a touchdown of his own.
Buffalo flirted with disaster late in the first half as Baltimore drove deep into Bills territory. On a zone-read handoff to Justice Hill, Joey Bosa forced a fumble that squashed what could’ve been a touchdown drive, limiting Baltimore to three points instead.
Showing why he’s one of the league’s elite quarterbacks, Josh Allen orchestrated a two-minute drill of his own, slicing through the Ravens’ defense with precise throws and poise, setting up a field goal that cut the deficit to just one score heading into the locker room.
