If you missed it, the Bills pulled away in the second half for a 36-10 win over Baltimore on Sunday at . Josh Allen threw two touchdown passes and ran for another, and Buffalo is 6-1 for the ninth time in franchise history.

Buffalo opened with a 10-play, 4:50 drive that ended with Allen finding the end zone from 1 yard out, then got sloppy before settling down. Lamar Jackson's return from an ankle injury lasted one play, when he hurt his right thumb. Backup Tyler Huntley left with a toe injury in the second quarter, so undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano finished the game in his NFL debut. Buffalo has now won nine straight coming out of its bye week with Allen at quarterback.

  • Fourth-quarter TDs: Kincaid from 23 yards, Moore from 11
  • Ravens: 4-4 after a third straight loss
  • Next: at Vikings, Monday Night Football, Nov. 9

Josh Allen passes Jim Kelly for the Bills' career touchdown-pass record

Josh Allen now owns the Bills' career record for touchdown passes. His 11-yard throw to DJ Moore early in the fourth quarter was No. 259, one more than Jim Kelly's 258. Kelly had held the record since he retired in 1997, and he was at the game. Allen added No. 260 to Dalton Kincaid with just under 6 minutes left.

Tyler Bass sets a Bills record for consecutive field goals

Tyler Bass now holds the Bills' record for consecutive makes. He entered with 18 straight, tying Rian Lindell's mark from 2007, and his 56-yarder in the first quarter gave him the record alone. It was his 19th straight, per Buffalo Rumblings' count, though WYRK says two more second-quarter kicks pushed the streak to 21.

The 56-yarder was also his sixth straight kick of 50-plus yards, tying Stephen Hauschka's 2017 team record, and a 51-yarder in the second quarter broke the tie. It wasn't the cleanest kick, but it ended on the right side of the goal post. Bass missed all of last season with an injury.

  • Season: 16 of 16 on field goals
  • Career: 147 of 171, with a long of 61 yards

DJ Moore returned from a shoulder injury and made two big catches

DJ Moore was back, and it showed. He had missed two games with a shoulder injury that has nagged him since just before halftime of Week 2. Sunday he caught a 49-yard pass that set up a touchdown and a sliding 11-yard touchdown grab. Moore finished with four catches for 82 yards and a score.
