This game was filled with one-sided highlights and we’re here to pull them all into a single article!
On the first drive, Joe Flacco faced a 2nd & 26. After buying time he threw across the field with a completion to John Brown!

On the Bills’ first drive, Tavon Young reminded fans he isn’t just a skilled cover corner, he’s also fast and capable of taking down the quarterback.

Nathan Peterman was jealous of Flacco’s completions, therefore he hit Brandon Carr with a great 32-yard interception.
