Week 4 of the NFL saw a strong team like the Baltimore Ravens hand the Buffalo Bills their first loss of the season with a decisive victory. Lamar Jackson and his teammates proved to be too much for the Bills, who could never find their rhythm in the game. After the match, it was none other than Josh Allen who spoke about his team’s performance.

An exciting Sunday Night Football showcased how Derrick Henry carried the Ravens’ offense on his shoulders as they aimed to be serious contenders, easily defeating Sean McDermottā€˜s Bills by 35-10.

After the game, Allen spoke at a press conference about the opponent’s game plan and the current situation of his Bills: ā€œYeah, I think they had a good plan — a good pressure plan. They made more plays than we did,ā€ Allen said. ā€œIt was evident right away they had more urgency than we did. That’s something we will correct.ā€

Despite the loss, the quarterback remains confident in his team’s talent and asserts that the level displayed last night is not a true reflection of their capabilities. ā€œNot everything was bad in this game. I don’t want us coming away from this saying we’re the worst. [There is] a lot to learn from. I’m glad this happened early in the season so we can correct things.ā€

Midway through the third quarter, Josh Allen attempted a trick play that didn’t go as planned, resulting in a turnover that favored the Ravens. Regarding this, the QB expressed: ā€œCoach called a shot, and the guy made a good play. That’s as simple as it is,ā€ Allen said. ā€œHe dove inside, and the guy made a good play. That’s what it comes down to.ā€

ā€œI think the ā€˜no blink’ mentality down 21-3 at halftime, get the ball, score a touchdown, had an opportunity to make it 21-17 and turn the ball over,ā€ Allen said. ā€œAgain, we were down and out early on. We kind of stopped the bleeding, and again, we could have done more to really put a Band-Aid over it. We just let it slip away,

ā€œThose plays are really big in the grand scheme of things. They alter the game, but make no mistake about it, they came out with urgency, and they whipped our butt.ā€, he finally concluded.
