ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills were unable to score off Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson’s first turnover of the day. But the Bills offense was able to capitalize on his second chance.
The Bills led 14-7 early in the second quarter on a “push” play on Josh Allen’s one-yard rushing touchdown.

Allen now used a sneak push to score his seventh rushing touchdown of the season. Allen and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts are the only two players with more than one rushing touchdown this season (Hurts has 10).
The score came after safety Damar Hamlin fumbled a sack of Jackson. Defensive end Von Miller caught the ball and ran it back 34 yards. The Bills offense then scored four goals.
It took the Bills offense just one possession early in the first half to answer an early scoring run by the Ravens and tie the divisional round at 7-7.
The Bills defense gave up a touchdown on the Ravens’ opening possession, but when the Bills offense got the ball, the team moved downfield with precision. The team ran the ball in all but two possessions, including a 1-yard rushing touchdown by rookie running back Ray Davis, which tied the score at 7-7. It was his only drive and his first career playoff touchdown.
Ray Davis TD!
One drive, one touchdown for Buffalo 🦬

The drive began on a 34-yard pass from Allen to wide receiver Khalil Shakir on third-and-8 from the Buffalo 32-yard line.
On Baltimore’s ensuing possession, safety Taylor Rapp picked off Jackson and returned the ball to the Bills at their own 43-yard line.
