But Poyer would be heard from again on the most critical defensive play of the game.

Facing a 4th-and-goal at their own two-yard line, Buffalo's defense was determined to keep it a tie game at 20 with 4:15 left.

"He's a game changer," said Greg Rousseau.

The Bills first half performance left them in a 10-point hole against the Ravens in Baltimore, but Buffalo would rally right from the start of the second half.

After the defense forced a three-and-out on the first Ravens' possession of the second half, the Bills sideline felt they had finally kicked things into gear.

"Early on in the game we were still trying to figure them out," said Jordan Poyer of the Ravens offense, which went against some of their own tendencies through the first three games.

Buffalo's offense built on their touchdown drive to end the first half, putting together a 10-play 51-yard field goal drive with all those yards coming on the ground to make it a one-score game 20-13.

"All you can do is just keep going, taking it play by play, and execution fuels the team," said Devin Singletary, who finished with 96 all-purpose yards to rebound from a fumble in the first half.

The Bills defense locked up the Ravens offense on the ensuing possession forcing them to punt after just five plays.

Buffalo's offense answered with their longest drive of the game, a nine-play, 80-yard march culminating in an 11-yard touchdown run off a bootleg option by Josh Allen.

"I felt someone pretty close to me on my back," said Allen of the scoring play.

Buffalo's defense closed with a flourish forcing a pair of interceptions by Poyer, the first on a tipped pass by DT Prince Emili and the second on a 4th-and-goal play at the Bills' two-yard line as they held the highest scoring team in the league scoreless over the final two quarters.

The big plays on what wound up being a 12-play, 77-yard scoring drive were a 20-yard pass play to Dawson Knox to convert a 3rd-and-2 and a pass to Singletary that covered another 16 to convert a 2nd-and-11 to get the Bills down to the Baltimore 11-yard line with 1:50 to play with the Ravens using their second of three timeouts.

From there Buffalo's constant repping of situational football in practice paid off as the offense expertly called a run play for Singletary who wisely went down at the three-yard line on purpose to burn clock and force the Ravens to use their final timeout.

Jordan Poyer deservedly earned headlines for his clutch two-interception performance on Sunday to help put the Bills in position to come back from a 10-point deficit to win 23-20 in Baltimore, but it wouldn't have happened without the efforts of Buffalo's two rangy linebackers.

Though it was tough for Buffalo's defense to stop the Ravens' offense in the first half, Edmunds and Milano were crucial to the effort to keep Lamar Jackson and Baltimore's running game under wraps.

On the Ravens' first possession to open the second half, Edmunds was sent on a blitz and wrapped up Jackson's legs as he tried to scramble away from the Bills linebacker.
