Ravens set early tone in beatdown of Bills, show what they’re capable of going forward

New York Times  

BALTIMORE — Long before quarterback Lamar Jackson jogged onto the field and the Baltimore Ravens ran their first offensive play from their 13-yard line, they had decided exactly how they wanted to start. In the team’s offensive meetings during the week when the script for the first possession was revealed, coordinator Todd Monken said if the Buffalo Bills aligned a certain way, the Ravens were going to begin with a “crunch” run concept that, when executed, can take advantage of an aggressive defensive front that quickly gets upfield. “If we got the look, we’re going to run it,” said center Tyler Linderbaum. “A big-ass win,” said Ravens outside linebacker Odafe Oweh, who had one of the team’s three sacks and two of its eight quarterback hits. “I’m just happy that we started dominant and finished dominant.” The Ravens held a Bills team that averaged 37.3 points and 329 yards per game to one third-quarter touchdown — and it took a miraculous 52-yard throw by Allen as he was falling out of bounds to set it up.
