Josh Allen’s Heroics Lead Buffalo Bills to Historic Comeback Over Ravens in MVP Showdown

Josh Allen's MVP-caliber performance fuels a 15-point fourth-quarter comeback as the Bills stun the Ravens 41-40, while Aaron Rodgers and Micah Parsons shine in debuts during an electrifying NFL opening week.

MVP Duel Delivers Instant Classic in Buffalo

In a game destined for NFL lore, Josh Allen (394 passing yards, 4 total TDs) rallied the Buffalo Bills from a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit to stun Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens 41-40. The clash of recent MVPs saw Jackson and Derrick Henry (169 rushing yards, 2 TDs) dominate early before Allen engineered 16 unanswered points, capped by Matt Prater’s 32-yard walk-off field goal.

Key moments:

  • Jackson’s critical fumble with 4:12 remaining
  • Allen’s 48-yard bomb to Stefon Diggs on 4th-and-8
  • Prater’s game-winner just days after signing with Buffalo

"This is why you never leave a Bills game early," Allen told NBC postgame. The victory marked Buffalo’s first 15+ point fourth-quarter comeback since 1967.


Parsons Ignites Packers’ Defense in Debut

Micah Parsons made an immediate impact for Green Bay, recording 1.5 sacks and 4 QB pressures in just 29 snaps during the Packers’ 27-13 win over Detroit. The former Cowboy’s arrival has transformed Green Bay’s defense:

Aaron Rodgers silenced doubters with a vintage 4-TD performance, leading Pittsburgh to a 34-32 win over his former Jets team. The 41-year-old became the oldest QB with 4+ TD passes in a season opener.

Rodgers’ revenge recipe:

  • 3 red zone TD passes
  • 12-yard scramble to set up game-winning FG
  • Perfect 158.3 rating on throws over 15 air yards
