-- Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater approached quarterback Josh Allen in the locker room before the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night. "[Prater] just said, 'Hey, I promise you I'm going to give you everything I got tonight,'" Allen recalled after the game. Prater told Allen that though it might not be perfect right away, "I'm going to do everything I can to try to be perfect to help." Prater, 41, joined the team Thursday morning after... Perfect?

ORCHARD PARK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 07: Zay Flowers #4 of the Baltimore Ravens reacts after scoring a touchdown against the Buffalo Bills during the third quarter at Highmark Stadium on September 07, 2025... (Photo by Bryan Bennett/Getty Images) It was a full-on spectacle with historic meaning because the Bills authored this stunning (even to themselves and their fans) comeback, the likes of which was unmatched in franchise history dating back to 1967.

With just 7:27 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Buffalo Bills facing a 15-point deficit to the Baltimore Ravens, the atmosphere in Highmark Stadium was tense. By the time the clock hit triple zeros, the crowd erupted as kicker Matt Prater nailed a 32-yard field goal to complete a remarkable comeback and secure Buffalo a 41-40 win over the Ravens... Buffalo's final opening win in Highmark Stadium came as a result of a masterful fourth quarter from all three phases. Though the defense struggled to contain the explosive Ravens offense for much of the contest, it stood tall when it mattered most in Baltimore's final two drives. While the offense wasn't perfect, going 0-for-3 on two-point conversions, reigning MVP quarterback Josh Allen led four scoring drives in the fourth quarter. Allen finished with 394 passing yards and four total touchdowns, two on the ground and two in the air.

Orchard Park, N.Y. — It was like the final scene of a movie. Josh Allen made sure to find Lamar Jackson for the customary handshake before turning to his people. He roared with passion after leading his Buffalo Bills back from a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football. On his way through the crowd of players and media cameras, Allen passed by a stunned Joey Bosa, who just finished his first game in a Bills uniform. “Man, I’m like in a dream right now,” Bosa said in the locker room after the game.

“It was unbelievable. I don’t know if I’ve ever been this happy after a win.” Allen hugged Bosa and then waved his arms toward the crowd, like Maximus did in the movie “Gladiator” when he asked: “Are you not entertained?” After a whirlwind of incredible action earlier in the day, NFL fans were treated to another stellar matchup on Sunday Night Football, with the Buffalo Bills pulling off a stunning fourth-quarter comeback over the...

The rematch of last season’s AFC divisional-round game between the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills did not disappoint Sunday night, as quarterback Josh Allen and the Bills erased a fourth-quarter 15-point deficit to win... The game shifted in Buffalo’s favor when Ravens running back Derrick Henry fumbled on Baltimore’s 38-yard line with 3:10 left in the game, and Buffalo recovered the ball. Allen got the Bills down the field in a four-play drive, capped off by the quarterback running in a touchdown with 1:58 remaining. However, Allen failed to connect with wide receiver Keon Coleman on the two-point conversion attempt, leaving Buffalo behind 40-38. The Ravens didn’t score on their next possession, giving the Bills a chance to complete their comeback. Veteran kicker Matt Prater delivered with a 32-yard game-winning field goal, stunning the Ravens.

Prater’s heroics come after the Bills signed the 41-year-old to their practice squad Thursday amid injury concerns over Tyler Bass, whom they placed on injured reserve with a hip/groin injury a day later. Buffalo elevated Prater to the active roster Saturday.
