In a defensive showdown, the Buffalo Bills topped the Baltimore Ravens 13-3 in Week 8 of the 2026 season, solidifying their position in the playoff race. With both teams struggling to find offensive rhythm, every point proved crucial in this hard-fought battle. Josh Allen was the standout performer for the Bills, showcasing his dual-threat ability with 60 passing yards and a touchdown, along with a remarkable 82 rushing yards. His dynamic play was key in moving the chains, even as the passing game struggled to find its usual flow, with James Cook III contributing a modest 23 receiving yards. Defensively, the Bills stifled the Ravens' offense, led by Maxwell Hairston's pivotal interception that halted a promising drive. Baltimore's only score came from a defensive lapse by Buffalo, but the Bills remained resilient, with Roquan Smith's sack and Marlon Humphrey's solid tackling preventing any serious threats. Ultimately, it was Allen's versatility and the Bills' defense that made the difference in this tightly contested matchup.
