Since the 2000 NFL season, teams had won three times out of 2,315 situations when they were trailing by at least 15 points going into the final four minutes of a game. And then Josh Allen did vintage Josh Allen things, a Buffalo Bills defense that got torched all game against the Baltimore Ravens came up with two stops and forced a fumble, and before you knew it, the Bills had pulled off a historic 41-40 victory to open the 2025 NFL season.
Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks has final thoughts and
analysis on how Buffalo was able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and send the Bills fans who stayed for the whole game happy with a victory for the ages.
