The Baltimore Ravens capped off the fourth full Sunday of NFL action by destroying the Buffalo Bills 35-10. 

A big reason why the Ravens won is because Buffalo simply had no answers for Baltimore’s rushing attack. Behind the power of Derrick Henry and the finesse of Lamar Jackson, the Ravens were able to outgain the Bills by 190 yards on the ground (271-81).

Daniels completed 91.3% of his passes in Week 3 against the Bengals. Commanders can’t be stopped. With 42 points against the Cardinals, the Commanders have registered back-to-back games with at least 38 points, marking the first time since 1991 they’ve pulled that off. The 1991 season also happens to be the last time the Commanders went to the Super Bowl. Another notable Washington stat: At 3-1, the Commanders are over .500 through four games for the first time since 2011. Comeback kids. The…
