(AP) — Josh Allen had a message to the few thousands fans — and perhaps the entire NFL, for that matter — who left the stadium early to beat the traffic on Sunday night. “Our team didn’t quit,” Allen said, his voice almost hoarse after rallying the Bills from a 15-point deficit in the final four minutes to a thrilling season-opening 41-40 win over the Baltimore Ravens. “I think there’s people who left the stadium.

That’s OK. We’ll be fine. But have some faith next time.” Allen refused to let up in scoring two touchdowns and throwing another — with Keon Coleman catching a tipped pass in the end zone — in a frantic fourth quarter alone. The NFL’s reigning MVP then capped the win by overseeing a nine-play, 66-yard drive over the final 86 seconds in setting up Matt Prater’s 32-yard field goal as time expired. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.

(AP) — Josh Allen had a message to the few thousands fans — and perhaps the entire NFL, for that matter — who left the stadium early to beat the traffic on Sunday night. “Our team didn’t quit,” Allen said, his voice almost hoarse after rallying the Bills from a 15-point deficit in the final four minutes to a thrilling season-opening 41-40 win over the Baltimore Ravens. “I think there’s people who left the stadium. That’s OK. We’ll be fine. But have some faith next time.”

Allen refused to let up in scoring two touchdowns and throwing another — with Keon Coleman catching a tipped pass in the end zone — in a frantic fourth quarter alone. The NFL’s reigning MVP then capped the win by overseeing a nine-play, 66-yard drive over the final 86 seconds in setting up Matt Prater’s 32-yard field goal as time expired. “Josh, he’s always been like that though. He wants the ball in key moments of the game,” coach Sean McDermott said. “That’s what the great ones, that’s their mindset. That’s what they want, that’s what they do.

And he’s never out of it in his mind.” Allen finished going 33 of 46 for 394 yards and two touchdowns and earned his 77th win, tying Joe Ferguson for second on the Bills list. The Buffalo Bills took a stunning opening-night step toward being the team — ahead of the Baltimore Ravens by the slimmest of margins — that’s first in line to challenge the Kansas City Chiefs... The Bills claimed that distinction by crafting a remarkable comeback to edge the Ravens, 41-40, in Orchard Park, New York, in a pulsating, high-profile matchup in the first Sunday night game of the NFL... 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. "A chip and a chair" is the old poker comeback idiom. For Josh Allen, it's a pigskin and a tick on the clock.

The reigning MVP authored an improbable comeback Sunday night, propelling the Buffalo Bills from a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit to a 41-40 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Even some Bills loyalists didn't see the epic resurgence coming, leaving Highmark Stadium when Buffalo got down 40-25 in the fourth quarter. Those fans missed Allen spearheading 16 consecutive points in the final 4:05 to steal the victory. "Our team didn't quit," Allen told NBC's Melissa Stark on the field after the game, via the Associated Press. "I think there's people who left the stadium. That's OK.

We'll be fine. But have some faith next time." When Allen is at the helm, no lead is safe. Bills quarterback Josh Allen explains his feelings about being asked what it will take to get the team over the hump to win a Super Bowl. (2:10) ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.

-- Josh Allen rolled his eyes. The question hadn't even been finished, but the words that the Buffalo Bills quarterback had heard over and over again were brought up -- to his displeasure: When you're asked about getting over that... "I think if I knew how to get over that hump, we would've gotten over that hump already," Allen said. Allen has become all too familiar with the line of questioning as the Bills' quest to reach the Super Bowl has extended over the years. His seven playoff wins are the most by any quarterback in NFL history without a Super Bowl appearance. Allen is now a winner of the league's MVP award and widely considered one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

Josh Allen led Buffalo to three scores in the final four minutes, the last a 32-yard field goal by Matt Prater as time expired, and the Bills rallied from 15 points down to stun... Buffalo scored 16 points in the last 3:56, with Prater’s kick capping a nine-play, 66-yard drive over the final 1:26. THE BUFFALO BILLS WIN. WHAT A COMEBACK. pic.twitter.com/eBLU73cBXz Allen went 33 of 46 for 394 yards with two touchdowns and scored two more rushing in a matchup of the NFL’s past two MVPs.

He spoiled a strong performance by Lamar Jackson, the 2023 MVP who went 14 of 19 for 210 yards and two scores while adding 70 yards rushing and another TD. Derrick Henry rushed for 169 yards and two touchdowns for Baltimore but also contributed to the loss by fumbling with 3:06 left.
