The demise of the Baltimore Ravens was greatly exaggerated. After falling to 0-2, they crafted their identity and have steamrolled their opponents for 545 rushing yards and totaled 63 points in two games. Tonight they beat one of the best teams in the NFL with that run game and came away with a 35-10 win over the Buffalo Bills. Here are Sunday’s MVP, the winners and losers.

MVP: Coaching Staff

This undoubtedly applies to the technical staff. Head Coach John Harbaugh had this team locked in and ready to play. Over the past two weeks they have outlined their identity. They learned from mistakes, corrected mistakes and maximized their strengths. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken ran circles around Bills defensive coordinator Bobby Babich. First-year play-caller and defensive coordinator Zach Orr defeated the efforts of quarterback Josh Allen and offensive coordinator Joe Brady. The Bills finished with just 12 first downs and went 3 of 13 on third down. They were simply better tonight in every way.

Winners

Offensive line: The Ravens offensive line bullied the Bills. Their strength, attack and repetition weakened the defense. But they didn’t need the whole game to do that. According to TruMedia, the Ravens averaged 5.18 yards FOR contact by transport. For the second week in a row, Lamar Jackson shouted out his offensive line, and more specifically the play of right guard Daniel Faalele.

“The offensive line has done a great job; two weeks in a row,” Jackson said. “I think we had one sack tonight; I believe that was my fault. I think I should have come out of that, but the offensive line did a great job tonight. Like I said, it’s not just Pat Mekari, it’s also Daniel Faalele, because that’s the guy they slept on the most. Just all guys, they just locked their tails and they did what they had to do.

Lamar Jackson: Oh, speaking of Jackson, he played pretty well too. If we’re being really picky, he had a few errant/dangerous throws. He also lost the fumble of not sliding and taking a hit that you wanted to avoid. But that all feels like splitting hairs because he’s topped the Bills for 156 passing yards and two passing touchdowns, along with 54 rushing yards and a touchdown. This was a bona fide efficiency performance from Jackson.

Dirk Hendrik: The King racked up 151 yards against a measly Cowboys defensive line in Dallas. He followed that up with an even better performance, rushing for 199 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries (8.3 YPC). The only blemish in his game was a fumble on the goal line that could have killed the Bills. Fortunately, the ball was recovered by full-back Patrick Ricard.

Patrick Ricard: Along with his recovered fumble, Ricard throws defenders. He is the point of attack and blows holes wide open for Henry. On film you can see defenders making business decisions when confronted with Henry chasing Ricard and he confirmed this is the case.

“Yes, especially curves,” said Ricard. “When I go out there to block them, they back up and try to work edge to edge. I don’t blame them. But yeah, it’s cool to see, but I want them to come and hit me.

Justice Hill: I don’t think “underrated” can be a Hill thing anymore. He has been mentioned over the past three weeks for the impact he makes on the field. Maybe underpaid, considering he signed a two-year, $6 million deal 10 days ago and that’s looking better for the Ravens every game, but he’s being recognized. And against the Bills, he was the Ravens’ leading receiver, catching all six targets for 78 yards and a touchdown.

Kyle Van Noy: The fountain of youth has been discovered by the veteran pass rusher as he has totaled 15 sacks in 18 games as a Raven. At age 33, Van Noy is half a bag away from second place in a single season. The first was last year, when he made a total of nine in fourteen games.

Block skill position: Bills defenders didn’t know what hit them as fast, physical pass-catchers, whether receivers or tight ends, ran out of their breaks to find the nearest non-black uniform and thrust their hands into their chests. The tape of this game will be inspiring for high school coaches around the world to point to as selfless players for team success.

Odafe Oweh: Taking everyone out is no easy task. His elusiveness is the closest thing to Jackson’s in the modern era, and his power is enough to push away the will of most defenders. But Oweh is also a specimen, and he chased Allen for a 16-yard loss. It’s a play that Oweh has missed by a fraction of a second in recent years. But on Sunday night he came home and scored another impact play.

Travis Jones: It appears the Ravens have developed another wrecking ball defensive lineman who has the strength of a bear and the speed of one. It’s not good to be without Michael Pierce, but after Jones’ production on Sunday night, the Ravens won’t be rushing to send him back from injury.

Kyle Hamilton: His range, speed and skill were on display. He closed gaps on pass catchers and got downhill in a hurry. Overall, he finished as the Ravens’ leading tackler, with six solo and seven overall. Oh, there was also that fumble recovery worth mentioning to slam the door on Buffalo.

Marlon Humphrey: The dive pass breakup and overall hip-glue coverage with a nickel blitz press on Allen to boot may have Humphrey all the way back.

Second half Ravens: The bigger the lead, the more panic grew as the Ravens fell behind to start the second half. Two straight three-and-outs have fans in full meltdown mode, and who can blame them? This is their worst replay to watch. Then it changed. Blame it on Bills OC Joe Brady for picking the most baffling trick play call, but credit the defense for capitalizing on it. In the second half, the Ravens outscored the Bills 14-7, and had Allen on the bench midway through the fourth quarter.

Losers

Discipline: The Ravens again put extra pressure on themselves with eight penalties for 79 yards. Give them credit for overcoming the additional burdens, but eliminating the flags will prove more fruitful.

Mark Andrews: From a receiving standpoint alone, Andrews must be feeling frustrated. Back-to-back games with no catches, a first in his career. But he was far from a “loser” when he blocked safety Taylor Rapp on the first offensive snap and released Henry for an 87-yard touchdown. The production will come, although fantasy football owners will complain about his 0.0 points.

Nate Wiggins: Two gift-wrapped interceptions from Allen as he began donning the cape were incomplete for the rookie cornerback. Although it’s a joke, Hamilton called him out on it in the post-game presser. Jackson also reminded Hamilton to poke at Brandon Stephens’ dropped interception as well.

“I thought DBs (defensive backs) did really well, even though Nate (Wiggins) dropped some money today – also ‘B-Steve’ (Brandon Stephens), so we have two culprits,” Hamilton said.
