Location: New Era Field, Orchard Park, NY
Result: Baltimore 24, Buffalo 17
Regular season records: Buffalo (9-4), Baltimore (11-2)
What it means:
The Bills had to win on Sunday in order to have a chance to clinch a playoff berth. Buffalo falls to 9-4 and remains in the same spot in each the divisional and wild card race. The Bills are second in the AFC East division and still hold the No. 5 seed for the AFC playoff race.
In a nutshell:
The Bills offense came up short against the Ravens.
With one minute remaining the Bills needed to convert a 4th-and-8 situation to keep the game alive. Down by one touchdown, the Ravens sent the house on Buffalo and Josh Allen's pass to John Brown was incomplete.
The Bills were only in the position to tie after the offense generated its first touchdown of the game in the fourth quarter and an outstanding overall effort from the Buffalo defense.
With 7:04 left Allen completed a pass to Cole Beasley for the touchdown and a two-point conversion from Beasley made it a seven-point game. The Buffalo defense forced Baltimore's fifth three-and-out series of the afternoon to give the offense a final chance to tie the game.
Buffalo held Lamar Jackson to just 145 yards passing and 40 yards rushing. A Raven rushing offense that averaged over 200 yards per game coming in, had just 118 on 33 attempts. Jackson's first rush of the game for 16 yards was the longest.
Jordan Poyer and Tremaine Edmunds topped the Bills in tackles again. Poyer had a 10-tackle effort while Edmunds had eight and an interception.
Stephen Hauschka made every one of his kicks, including field goals form 47 and 48 yards out. Both Bills punter Corey Bojorquez and Ravens punter Sam Koch each produced seven punts on the day.
