Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is used to spending a little more time in the end zone.

In the Baltimore Ravens’ 35-10 shelling of the Bills on Sunday night, the Baltimore defense was able to slow down Allen and the Buffalo offense, keeping the quarterback and his receivers off the scoreboard.

Allen was 16 of 29 passing for 180 yards, with another 21 rushing yards on five carries. He was sacked three times for a loss of 27 yards. He lost one fumble. Backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky came in with 7:17 left in the fourth quarter, as the Bills were already down by 25 points.

It was the first game in which Allen failed to notch a passing or rushing touchdown since a 9-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2021. Allen has had only seven games total in his career where he’s been held without a touchdown, and three of those seven were in his rookie season, Katherine Fitzgerald of the Buffalo News reports.

“I think they had a good plan, a good pressure plan,” Allen said. “They made more plays than we did, and it was evident right away. They had more urgency than we did, and that’s something we’ll correct.”

Still, early on in his postgame news conference Sunday night, Allen made it clear that he was not going to panic.

“Not everything was bad in this game,” Allen said. “I don’t want us to come away from this saying we’re the worst, and lots to learn from. I’m glad this happened early in the season so we can correct things.”

“You don’t panic. You just see what things you could have did better, and you go from there.”

Coach Sean McDermott said he would start making corrections right away on the flight back, and he’ll likely start some of those up front. Buffalo allowed three sacks and averaged 3.5 yards per rushing attempt.
