- Lamar Jackson was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday’s game at Buffalo after hurting his right thumb on the Ravens’ first offensive play, when Bills outside linebacker Greg Rousseau struck his throwing hand while attempting to knock down the pass.
- Tyler “Snoop” Huntley left in the second quarter with a right toe injury after going 2-for-4 for no yards and was considered questionable to return.
- Joe Fagnano took over as Baltimore’s No. 3 quarterback, making his first regular-season appearance after an impressive preseason; the undrafted rookie is from Connecticut.
- Jackson was playing for the first time after missing the previous three games with a high ankle sprain, and Baltimore had produced only five touchdowns in the prior 14 quarters without him.
Why it matters: Baltimore lost both Jackson and Huntley to injuries in the same game, leaving No. 3 Joe Fagnano as the fallback. Jackson had just missed three games with a high ankle sprain, and Baltimore had scored only five touchdowns in the previous 14 quarters without him; the immediate consequence is quarterback play falling to a rookie.
