Career Overview

The Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills are AFC franchises that have developed a significant postseason rivalry in the Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen era.

Through the 2025 regular-season meeting, the teams have played 12 times in the modern franchise series. Baltimore leads the regular-season series 7-5, but Buffalo has won both playoff meetings. The playoff record is therefore Bills 2-0 Ravens, with Buffalo holding a 44-28 scoring advantage in those postseason games. Across all meetings, Baltimore has scored 299 points to Buffalo’s 203.

The most recent game added another dramatic chapter. Baltimore led 40-25 with 11:42 remaining after Derrick Henry’s 46-yard touchdown run. Buffalo then scored three times: Keon Coleman’s touchdown reception, Josh Allen’s one-yard rushing touchdown and Matt Prater’s game-winning 32-yard field goal as time expired.

The previous meeting was even more consequential: Buffalo defeated Baltimore 27-25 in the 2024 AFC Divisional Round on January 19, 2025. That game also featured Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, making the September 2025 rematch the second meeting between the quarterbacks within the same calendar year.

Henry’s 2020 season included 2,027 rushing yards and 17 rushing touchdowns, making him the eighth player in NFL history at the time to exceed 2,000 rushing yards in a season.

James Cook

Cook earned Pro Bowl recognition and second-team AP All-Pro honors in 2025 after rushing for 1,621 yards and 12 touchdowns while adding 291 receiving yards and two receiving TDs.

Zay Flowers

Flowers made the Pro Bowl in both 2024 and 2025. His 2025 campaign produced 86 receptions for 1,211 yards and six total touchdowns.

Performance Trends

1. Baltimore’s rushing efficiency was elite in the 2025 matchup

Baltimore rushed for 238 yards on 29 attempts, an extraordinary 8.2 yards per carry. Henry alone accounted for 169 yards on 18 carries, averaging 9.4 yards per attempt. Jackson added 70 yards on six carries.

That production gave Baltimore 130 more rushing yards than Buffalo. Yet Buffalo won because the Bills generated 389 net passing yards and sustained 78 offensive plays.

2. Buffalo’s passing volume overwhelmed Baltimore late

Allen attempted 46 passes, completing 33 for 394 yards. Jackson attempted only 19 passes, completing 14 for 209 yards.

The contrast was even larger in total offensive volume:

  • Baltimore: 50 plays
  • Buffalo: 78 plays
  • Baltimore: 25:11 possession
  • Buffalo: 34:49 possession

Buffalo therefore had the ball for nearly ten additional minutes and ran 28 more plays.

3. Red-zone efficiency separated the teams

Baltimore scored touchdowns on only 1 of 3 red-zone possessions. Buffalo scored touchdowns on 5 of 7.

That 71% Buffalo red-zone touchdown rate was decisive in a one-point game. Both teams scored five touchdowns, but Buffalo also converted three field goals while Baltimore made two.

4. Zay Flowers emerged as Baltimore’s explosive receiving threat

Flowers averaged 20.4 yards per reception and produced 143 yards on seven catches. His 39-yard reception was Baltimore’s longest catch of the game.

His 2025 season continued the upward trajectory established in 2023 and 2024, when he recorded 858 and 1,059 receiving yards respectively. He reached 1,211 yards in 2025.

5. James Cook’s role was more important than his raw rushing total

Cook rushed for only 44 yards on 13 carries, but he added 58 receiving yards on five catches. His 51-yard reception was Buffalo’s longest play from scrimmage in the game.

The 2025 season represented a major statistical jump for Cook: 1,621 rushing yards, 12 rushing TDs and 291 receiving yards. His 1,912 yards from scrimmage ranked among the league’s elite offensive totals.

Historical Context

The matchup sits within two very different franchise histories.

Baltimore has existed as the Ravens since 1996 and has won two Super Bowls from two appearances. The franchise’s all-time leaders include Joe Flacco in passing yards, Jamal Lewis in rushing yards, Mark Andrews in receiving yards and Ray Lewis in approximate value.

Buffalo’s franchise dates to 1960. The Bills have won two AFL championships and reached four Super Bowls, although they have not won a Super Bowl. Their historical leaders include Jim Kelly in passing yards, Thurman Thomas in rushing yards, Andre Reed in receiving yards and Bruce Smith in approximate value.

The modern quarterback comparison has become central to the matchup. Jackson has won two AP MVP awards, while Allen won the 2024 MVP. Their head-to-head games have produced two especially close playoff/regular-season results: Buffalo’s 27-25 divisional playoff victory in January 2025 and its 41-40 regular-season victory in September 2025.
