Buffalo Bills Pull Out Breathtaking 41-40 Comeback Win Over Ravens in Prime-Time Thriller
Orchard Park, N.Y. – September 7, 2025
Imagine skipping out of Highmark Stadium early last night. You miss one of the most imporbably comebacks in NFL history and then get called out by Josh Allen: “Have some faith next time.”
And honestly, he’s correct.
Last night proved why Josh Allen is the NFL MVP and th Buffalo Bills are never out of a game with him under center,=.
In what will be remembered as one of Sunday Night Football history’s wildest conclusions, the Buffalo Bills recovered all the way from a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit and surprised the Baltimore Ravens 41-40 on a game-winning 32-yard field goal by 67-year old (uncomfirmed) Kicker Matt Prater as time expired.
Let’s break down that rollercoaster game.
Fourth-Quarter Fireworks
7:27 remaining, and the Bills were trailing 40-25. The curtains appeared drawn with Derrick Henry’s 46-yard TD run, but then the Josh Allen Show was in overdrive.
Allen scored on a 2-yard rushing touchdown and made it 40-31.
He got up and found Keon Coleman on a 10-yard touchdown. 40-38, just like that.
Then came the defense’s stand — Ed Oliver forced a fumble, Terrel Bernard recovered it, and Allen ran it in from 1 yard out to put Buffalo in range.
Finally, Prater—signed just two days earlier—iced the comeback with a 32-yard FG as time expired.
Buffalo scored 16 unanswered points in the last 7 minutes, going 4-for-4 on fourth-quarter drives.
Josh Allen = MVP Energy
Allen finished the night 33-of-46 for 394 yards, 2 pass TDs, 2 rush TDs, and no quit. His fourth-quarter stat line by itself was legendary, accounting for four total touchdowns and a nine-play, 66-yard game-winning drive in the last 86 seconds.
And he also set the Buffalo Bills franchise mark in rushing touchdown runs (66), breaking Buffalo legend Thurman Thomas’ record.
Baltimore’s Brutal Collapse
To be honest, this was not so much a Bills win—it was more a collapse by the Ravens.
Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry were unstoppable in the first three quarters, combining for 461 yards and 5 TDs.
Jackson had 3 total TDs and threw a laser to DeAndre Hopkins who made an insane one handed catch (of course) on a 29-yard 3rd-quarter touchdown.
Henry gashed Buffalo’s defense for 169 rushing yards and two touchdowns, but his late-game fumble, thanks to Ed Oliver, at 3:06 left the door wide open.
To make matters worse for the Birds, Tyler Loop missed a game-deciding PAT, and the Ravens’ offense went quiet in the game’s final 5 minutes. The Next Gen Stats show, that at one point, the Bills only had a 1.1% chance of winning, making it the 13th most impossible comeback in history.
Defense Bent, But Didn’t Break In The End
Buffalo was getting roasted early, but made massive plays in the end:
Ed Oliver was a beast: 6 tackles, 3 TFLs, and the fumble forced that changed the script.
Terrel Bernard recovered the game-changing fumble and helped seal the door on Baltimore’s final possession.
Cole Bishop, and Taylor Rapp to a lesser extent, are not starting safeties on a Super Bowl team.
Final Thoughts
This was no comeback, it was a statement. With new weapons, a tough-hitting defense, and Josh Allen playing like the MVP that he is, the Bills showed that they’re never down and out – especially at home.
And yes, if you left early… you missed a game for the ages.
