The Ravens had to rely on undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano when backup Tyler Huntley had a toe injury in the second quarter, which made things worse. Fagnano turned the ball over three times, allowing Buffalo to score 426 yards.

Ravens Season Hangs by Thread
“Disco is dead this season. For me, it’s over,” McFadden declared. “Even if you try to acquire a quarterback, he won’t be Tyler Huntley or Lamar Jackson.
Lamar Jackson’s health is currently the Ravens’ top worry. Jackson’s defeat on Sunday was verified by head coach Jesse Minter.
Ravens’ Playoff Hopes in Jeopardy
Baltimore is presently trailing the Browns (5-3), Bengals (5-2), and Steelers (6-2) in the AFC North. Not the beginning that anybody had expected, even Ravens fans.
Their upcoming schedule isn’t exactly simple either, with the Jaguars on Thursday, the Chargers returning to Baltimore, road games against the Panthers and Texans, and the Buccaneers at home. Four divisional games in a row mark the end of the regular season.
Even if their season isn’t quite over, losing Jackson for an extended period of time would be quite harmful.
