BALTIMORE - At the start of Week 4 in the NFL, there were only three teams still undefeated and the Buffalo Bills not only one of them, but they may have been the most impressive of the group.

The Bills won their first three games over the Cardinals, Dolphins and Jaguars by 64 points, the highest point differential in the league, and the second-highest through three games in Bills history behind only their plus-74 in the 1992 season.

However, their three victims entered Week 4 with a combined record of 2-7, and while Sunday’s opponent, the Baltimore Ravens, are only 1-2, they will without question be the toughest test to date for the Bills, especially at M&T Bank Stadium.

“Going on the road is never easy, especially in this environment,” Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady said. “It’s going to be a great atmosphere. For a football fan, it’s games like this you look forward to. I’m fortunate to be able to coach in that, so we’ll be we’re excited for it.”

Bills fans are excited, too. There was a perception that the Bills were a team in decline before 2024 began, but the 3-0 start has the passionate followers pounding their chests.

“Here in Buffalo the expectations get real big, real real fast,” said edge rusher Von Miller. “If you look at these banners, we got four AFC championships and four Super Bowls that we went to and we lost. The whole Bills Mafia is just, it’s just waiting for a Super Bowl here, but we got to manage those expectations, just keep it small, and just continue to play our game. And that’s what’s been working for us, for sure.”

Ty Johnson scored the Bills' first touchdown but Josh Allen did the heavy lifting.

On third-and-5, Allen kept the possession and game alive for the Bills. He evaded pressure and kept drifting toward the right sideline with pump fakes before heaving the ball as he was pushed out of bounds to Khalil Shakir, who got behind the defense during the scramble drill for a 52-yard gain to the Ravens' 3-yard line.

The rout is on in Baltimore.

The Bills defense has been beyond pathetic and the Ravens scored a touchdown for third time in three possessions, this time Justice Hill catching a 19-yard pass from Lamar Jackson after toasting overmatched linebacker Dorian Williams.

This drive went 81 yards in 10 plays and was helped by a third-and-11 conversion and a third-and-14 conversion. The Bills’ defense is finally being exposed having to play with so many backups, and they just lost another player, safety Taylor Rapp.

Ravens 14, Bills 3: Derrick Henry scores second TD on pass from Lamar Jackson

This could be a long night for the Bills if they don’t figure some things out on defense because as it stands right now, their list of backups - players like Cam Lewis, Baylon Spector and Dorian Williams who have been forced to start - may finally be getting exposed.

After Derrick Henry went 87 yards for a touchdown on Baltimore’s first offensive play, the Ravens marched right down field on its second possession and stretched its lead to 14-3 as Lamar Jackson tossed a six-yard TD pass to Henry.

The Bills defense had no answers for anything the Ravens called as Jackson used short passes and Henry runs to plow 70 yards in nine. Another penalty on the Bills, this one a 15-yard personal foul on Dawuane Smoot, helped the Ravens.

Ravens 7, Bills 0: Derrick Henry runs for 87-yard TD on Baltimore's first play

No matter what uniform he wears, Derrick Henry kills the Bills. All it took was one carry for Baltimore to continue the devastation he used to wreak on the Bills when he played for the Titans.

Henry blew through a gaping hole on the right side of the line and ran 87 yards untouched to the end zone. It was a ridiculous play for the Bills’ defense as every man was one-on-one blocked and provided no resistance.

Bills punt on first possession - 11:02 1st quarter

Baltimore won the coin toss and deferred to the second half. The Bills gained one first down when they went for it on fourth-and-1 from their 39-yard line and Josh Allen gained 3 yards on a quarterback sneak. James Cook ran for 8 yards on the next play but Ray Davis was stopped for no gain and Allen's third-down pass was dropped by tight end Dalton Kincaid. Sam Martin punted 37 yards to the Ravens' 13-yard line.

Khalil Shakir breaks record for catches on consecutive targets

On the second play of the game Josh Allen completed a pass to Khalil Shakir for no gain. Baltimore's Kyle Hamilton tackled Shakir the line of scrimmages.

But with the reception, Shakir broke an NFL record with a catch on his 28th consecutive target dating back to last year. That surpasses Michael Thomas' streak of 27 in 2018.

Bills vs. Ravens inactives

No surprises again on the Bills inactive list. Linebacker Terrel Bernard and cornerback Taron Johnson were already ruled out on Friday, and the healthy scratches were offensive lineman Will Clapp, linebacker Edufuan Ulofoshio and safety Mike Edwards.

This is the second week in a row that Edwards is not playing and that’s a bad sign for a player the Bills signed as a free agent in the offseason. Taylor Rapp and Damar Hamlin will again start at safety with rookie second-round pick Cole Bishop in a backup role. And Ja’Marcus Ingram, a cornerback by trade, has become the favored player when the Bills go to their dime personnel and bring a third safety onto the field.

The Ravens inactive list includes starting left guard Andrew Vorhees, and starting nose tackle Michael Pierce, plus wide receiver Devontez Walker, offensive lineman Nick Samac and safety Beau Brade.
