BALTIMORE, Maryland — The Buffalo Bills look to stay undefeated as they travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens on Sunday night in a marquee primetime matchup. The game will be broadcast nationally on NBC. Kickoff is at 8:20 p.m. Eastern.
Several streaming services will broadcast the game live. You can watch it on Fubo (free trial and $30 off your first month), DirecTV Stream (free trial), Sling (select markets, promotional offers) or Peacock.
Both the Bills (3-0) and Ravens (1-2) entered the season as the most likely threats to the Kansas City Chiefs’ two-year reign as AFC (and Super Bowl) champions. Buffalo has certainly lived up to that promise, but Baltimore struggled out of the gate, losing its first two games (albeit by the thinnest of margins) before winning in Dallas a week ago.
Check out a complete rundown of NFL Week 4 action, including the schedule, predictions, previews, TV information and more.
BILLS – RAVENS Matchup Preview
The Bills enter the game as the NFL’s most dominant team, scoring 37 points a game with an average margin of victory of 16 points. It’s early, but quarterback Josh Allen is having an MVP-caliber year, completing 75 percent of his passes and throwing for 634 yards, 7 touchdowns and no interceptions. He’s also the team’s second-leading rusher with 85 yards and two touchdowns. Allen’s 230 career touchdowns (passing, rushing and receiving) are second only to Patrick Mahomes for most by a player in his first seven NFL seasons.
Buffalo’s new defensive coordinator Bobby Babich has gotten results, too. The unit is ranked eighth in the league in yards allowed with 11 sacks and 6 takeaways in the first three games.
Reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson leads the league’s top-ranked offense. The Baltimore unit averages 430 yards a game, including 203 yards on the ground. Derrick Henry has fit in nicely in the backfield with 281 rushing yards, a 5.0 yards per carry average and four touchdowns. Jackson is right behind him with a slash line of 254/7.3/1. He also completes 66 percent of his passes. Wide receiver Zay Flowers and tight end Isaiah Likely are his favorite targets. Nelson Agholor is the deep threat.
The Ravens defense, meanwhile, has been an enigma under new coordinator Zach Orr. The unit is ranked first in stopping the run but dead last against the pass.
