First Quarter
The opening quarter set the tone for a high-scoring affair. The Bills' quarterback Josh Allen showcased his dual-threat capabilities early on. He completed several key passes and rushed effectively to keep the chains moving. His efforts were complemented by running back James Cook who found success on the ground with a touchdown run.

Ed Oliver made his presence felt on defense with a sack and forced fumble that shifted momentum momentarily towards Buffalo’s favor. However, Baltimore responded swiftly through their own offensive prowess led by Lamar Jackson.
