Derrick Henry gallops to 199 rushing yards as the Ravens dominate the Bills

The Baltimore Ravens may have started the season 0-2, but they are now on a roll after earning their second straight victory, 35-10, against the undefeated Buffalo Bills on Sunday night at M&T Bank Stadium.

The league’s best rushing attack was back as Derrick Henry had a monster game with 199 yards on 24 carries and an 87-yard touchdown that scored the Ravens’ first offensive play of the game.

Henry, getting a great block from fullback Patrick Ricard, saw the light and didn’t waste it as he hit the Jets down the right sideline for a franchise-best 87 yards for the score.

The Bills simply had no answer for Henry all night as the runs confounded the Bills in all four quarters.

In addition to Henry’s dominance, quarterback Lamar Jackson also got the job done with his legs. He gained 54 yards rushing on six carries and hit the ground himself.

And although running back Justice Hill only had 14 yards rushing, he was a key factor in the passing game for Jackson, who caught him six times for a game-high 78 yards with a touchdown.

DERRICK HENRY’S STUNNING 87-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN MAKES RAVENS HISTORY

Jackson was extremely efficient through the air, going 13 of 18 for 156 yards with two touchdowns, the first of which went through the air to Henry before finding Hill later in the game.

Meanwhile, coming into this high-octane Sunday night matchup on the road, Josh Allen and the Bills came back down to earth as John Harbaugh’s group started the real blitz that had him running all over the field.

Allen couldn’t reach the end zone with either his legs or his cannon arm, as he was just 16 of 29 for 180 yards passing while rushing for 21 yards on five attempts.

Buffalo never had the same success moving the ball quickly and effectively as it did in the first three games this season, as Allen had to fake three times and sprint to his right just to find Khalil Shakir (4 catches, 62 yards) on a drive in the third quarter for 52 yards to set up Buffalo’s only touchdown drive of the game.

It was Ty Johnson who scored for Buffalo from three yards out in a 21:10 game.

However, things got out of hand when Allen was sacked on the team’s next drive and Jackson led his rushing touchdown drive to pull away again.

Then, after Buffalo kicker Tyler Bass missed a field goal, Baltimore scored again when Ricard went down in the end zone on a Henry fumble at the goal line, making the score 35-10.

It was total dominance by the Ravens, who look more like the team that had the best weekly record in the NFL last season.

Meanwhile, the Bills suffered a tough loss on the road that brings them back to reality, but is by no means a worrisome starting point heading into Week 5.
