Allen completed 21 of 34 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns with one interception, and he also ran for a score, according to Reuters. His 11-yard scoring pass to DJ Moore with 12:18 left was the 259th touchdown pass of his career including postseason play, which broke the record set by Hall of Famer Jim Kelly. James Cook III rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown. The win was Buffalo’s third straight, and the Bills improved to 6-1.

Jackson hurt, then Huntley, then a rookie

The Ravens lost Lamar Jackson to a right thumb injury and backup Tyler Huntley to a right toe injury in the first half, according to Reuters. Coach Jesse Minter said Jackson needs thumb surgery and will be placed on injured reserve.

Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano of UConn played the rest of the game in his NFL debut. He completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards with one interception and one lost fumble, and Baltimore finished with 144 yards of total offense. The loss was Baltimore’s third straight, and the Ravens fell to 4-4.

Buffalo pulled away in the second half after the Ravens had closed within 16-10 early in the third quarter, according to the Democrat and Chronicle. The Bills scored three unanswered touchdowns from there to reach 36 points on 426 yards of offense.
