NFL SNF: Derrick Henry runs wild as Ravens dismantle previously unbeaten Bills 35-10

Why this one matters

When the Buffalo Bills entered M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday night averaging a league-leading 34.3 points per game, the football world anticipated a down-to-the-wire aerial shootout between Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Instead, the Baltimore Ravens staged an old-school physical clinic that reminded everyone why running the football still rules the sport.

Behind an extraordinary performance from 30-year-old powerhouse Derrick Henry, Baltimore crushed previously undefeated Buffalo 35-10. Henry piled up 199 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries, including an 87-yard sprint on Baltimore’s first offensive play that set the tone for a one-sided blowout.

The win lifts John Harbaugh’s Ravens to 2-2 after a challenging start to the season, while Buffalo falls to 3-1, suffering their most lopsided regular-season loss in three years.

The King strikes instantly

The game was barely two minutes old when Henry produced the longest touchdown run in Baltimore Ravens franchise history:

• The 87-yard explosion: Lined up in single back, Henry took the handoff, waited for fullback Patrick Ricard to seal the edge, and broke through an arm tackle at the line of scrimmage. Accelerating into open grass, Henry outpaced Buffalo’s defensive backfield for an 87-yard house call.
• Lamar Jackson’s efficiency: With Buffalo forced to stack eight defenders in the box, Jackson picked them apart through the air. The two-time MVP completed 13 of 18 passes for two touchdowns, adding 54 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown of his own.
• Defensive stranglehold: Zach Orr’s defense suffocated Josh Allen, sacking the Bills quarterback three times and holding Buffalo to just 236 total yards. Kyle Van Noy notched two sacks and a forced fumble.

AFC hierarchy reassessed

The dominant victory serves as a forceful reminder of Baltimore’s ceiling when their ground attack operates in full harmony.

For Buffalo, the loss exposes perimeter tackling vulnerabilities that defensive coordinator Bobby Babich must address before facing the Texans next week. Baltimore now heads into an AFC North clash with renewed confidence and physical authority.
