Bills Mafia, football is back in Western New York! After the long wait during the offseason and the summer, the regular season is back for the Buffalo Bills. Fans will have to wait until tonight for Sunday Night Football to watch the Bills take on the Baltimore Ravens.
In a rematch from last season, both in the regular season and playoffs, both of these teams with two of the best quarterbacks in the game will be looking to start off the season on a high note.
The Ravens are the first perfect test for the Bills as they will test Buffalo for all four quarters. However, the Ravens will be tested just as much seeing as how the Bills are bringing in a lot of new faces on defense. This game is going to be absolutely electric.

Mini-history between Bills and Ravens
According to Pro Football Reference, the Ravens lead the Bills in their all-time series against each other, 7-6. While the Ravens have had more wins in the regular season, Buffalo hasn’t lost a playoff game to the Ravens. Just this decade alone, the Bills are 2-0 against the Ravens in the playoffs (ironically both wins coming in the divisional round).
In the Bills’ six wins over the Ravens going back to 1999, Buffalo has only one double digit win (17-3 win the playoffs in 2021). Meanwhile, the Ravens have four wins by double digit point.
Of course, when you think of these two teams, you have to talk about Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Both star quarterbacks come from the same 2018 draft class, with Allen going No. 7 overall to Buffalo and Jackson going to Baltimore with the last pick in the first round.
They are clearly the top quarterbacks from that draft class and are in the top five in the league. They both have an MVP award and are both All-Pros and Pro Bowlers.
Kickoff from Orchard Park is at 8:20PM on NBC and the entire football world should be tuning in for this thriller of a matchup.
