Allen passes Kelly as Bills beat Ravens 36-10

The record belongs to Allen

Josh Allen found DJ Moore for an 11-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter Sunday and moved past Jim Kelly atop the Bills' career passing-touchdown list. No. 259 put Allen in front. A later scoring pass to Dalton Kincaid helped finish Buffalo's 36-10 win over Baltimore at Highmark Stadium.

Allen threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score as Buffalo improved to 6-1. Moore, returning after missing two games with a shoulder injury, caught four passes for 82 yards. Kincaid had four catches for 86. Buffalo got production from both targets, giving Allen two different ways to finish drives after halftime.

Four sacks, 12 hits and a third quarterback

Baltimore's afternoon changed on its first offensive snap. Lamar Jackson left with a thumb injury, then Tyler Huntley departed in the second quarter with a toe injury. The Ravens turned to undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano for his NFL debut. Baltimore later announced that Jackson would need surgery and go on injured reserve.

Buffalo recorded four sacks and 12 quarterback hits. Fagnano finished 10 of 21 for 91 yards, with an interception and a lost fumble. The Ravens produced only 144 total yards to the Bills' 426. Zay Flowers, one of Baltimore's principal receiving threats, finished without a catch.

The Ravens' defense kept the first half from becoming a rout. Two Buffalo possessions that began at Baltimore's 20- and 33-yard lines ended in field goals, and a Broderick Washington interception set up Derrick Henry's 2-yard touchdown run. Those stops mattered because the offense had so little margin to recover from a long field.

Buffalo eventually made the separation decisive. James Cook scored on a 5-yard run before Allen's two fourth-quarter touchdown passes. Baltimore fell to 4-4 with a third consecutive defeat.

Evening update: Jackson needs surgery and injured reserve

In his November 1 postgame press conference, Ravens coach Jesse Minter said Jackson's thumb injury requires surgery and an injured-reserve move. Baltimore's subsequent report states that Jackson will miss at least four games. Minter left open the possibility of a season-ending absence but did not confirm it or disclose a more specific diagnosis.

Huntley's availability also remained unresolved in Minter's remarks. Baltimore must prepare its next quarterback plan while awaiting that assessment; Jackson's absence now extends beyond Sunday's loss.
