The Winners and Losers of NFL Week 4

Winner: The Ravens’ Super Bowl Hype
Jackson has never performed particularly well against this Bills defense, which has focused on neutralizing him as a runner in past games. But with Henry, who’s been a bogeyman for the Bills throughout his career, standing next to Jackson in the Ravens backfield, that was difficult to do. This had been Baltimore’s aim when signing the 30-year-old back: reducing the playmaking burden on Jackson in this offense. With Henry now leading the NFL in rushing after his dominant performance on Sunday night, it’s safe to say he’s provided that relief. But Lamar is still doing his part. The Ravens quarterback ranks ninth in the NFL in rushing, with 308 yards. This isn’t just the best two-headed rushing attack in the league today—it might be the best we’ve ever seen. Jackson and Henry are on pace to finish with a combined 3,349 rushing yards this season.
5 things we learned from the Ravens’ 35-10 win over the Buffalo Bills

At their best, the Ravens might be the NFL’s best
Here, finally, was the team that smashed the San Francisco 49ers on Christmas night, that embarrassed the high-octane Miami Dolphins a week later. The details weren’t identical, of course. That blur of muscle and motion wearing No. 22 wasn’t in the team photo last season. But on Sunday night in Baltimore, facing the best team in the AFC to date, the Ravens reasserted that, at their best, they’re as dominant as anyone.
…They did, however, reintroduce us to the very real possibility that they could win the Super Bowl. The Ravens were that good.
NFL Week 4: Biggest questions, takeaways for every game
Alaina Getzenberg, ESPN
“After putting up 30-plus points in the first three games, this was a relative no-show. The Bills streak of 41 straight regular-season games of scoring more than 10 points ended, the longest active streak in the NFL. The offense went 2-11 on third down and Allen completed 16 of 29 passes (55.2%), down from his 75% average to start the season. The offensive line had a tough night with Allen pressured on 44.1% of throws and sacked three times after two sacks on the season.”
How good was that Ravens defensive performance?
The 12 first downs by the Bills were their fewest in a game in the last five years (79 games – playoffs included).
The Bills’ longest run all night was 8 yards.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Tonight belonged to Derrick Henry, starting from his team’s very first play.
The Ravens running back dominated on the ground with 198 rushing yards on 24 carries, highlighted by an 87-yard touchdown run on the Ravens’ opening play. He added a rare receiving touchdown — his first since 2019 — in the second quarter.
Henry moved the chains six times. He forced four missed tackles and gained 10 or more yards on three separate carries. Of his total yardage, 131 came before contact, with 67 coming after. He was bolstered by stellar blocking, averaging an impressive 5.5 yards before contact per carry.
