The Buffalo Bills got thrashed by the Baltimore Ravens in their first game of the 2018 season on Sunday. If there’s anything positive to take away from the game however Womens Marcus Murphy Jersey , it was the play of the Bills’ two 2018 first rounders. Read about the performance of the Bills’ entire 2018 rookie class below.QB Josh AllenAllen came into the game while it was already out of hand and while the stat sheet doesn’t really show it, his performance was more positive than negative. On certain snaps, such as the would-be touchdown to Kelvin Benjamin in the third quarter, the rookie quarterback demonstrated an ability to stay in the pocket, go through his reads and deliver accurate passes. On others, Allen’s internal clock would go off and he would decide to abandon the pocket too early, just as wide receivers were earning separation. His offensive line and his wide receivers didn’t do him many favors. Regardless Youth Marcus Murphy Jersey , Allen peppered in NFL-level throws during his time on the field and gave Bills fans at least some hope.LB Tremaine EdmundsAfter a shaky first quarter, Edmunds found his groove in the second. To start the game, the Ravens offense featured a lot of misdirection runs, weak-side runs and faked sweeps that made the rookie linebacker hesitate and react late. Edmunds, and the defense as a whole, seemed to adjust in the second quarter and started to make some positive plays. On the same series, Edmunds tackled a fleeing Joe Flacco for a sack Youth Dion Dawkins Jersey , broke up a pass intended for the tight end, and then forced a fumble. Like Allen, this was a performance to build off of.DT Harrison PhillipsPhillips was in a rotation with the rest of the defensive tackles and really failed to make much of an impact with his limited time on the field. While the game was still competitive in the first few quarters, Baltimore tended to avoid him on run downs and the former Stanford Cardinal only had a few opportunities to rush the passer, which were largely ineffective. CB Tarron JohnsonJohnson was called for pass interference on a Ravens first-quarter drive that eventually resulted in a touchdown. It did not appear to be warranted. While his effort in the run game was noticeable on a few plays in the first and second quarter, Johnson was forced to exit the game halfway through the second quarter with a shoulder injury and did not return. S Siran NealNeal notched the first stat his NFL career, adding one assisted tackle in his debut. He played three defensive snaps.WR Robert FosterThanks to the blowout Youth Corey Bojorquez Jersey , Foster saw time on offense, playing 25% of the team’s offensive snaps. He was targeted twice but failed to come down with a reception.P Corey Bojorquez The newly-acquired rookie punted 8 times for an average of average of 49 yards, with a long of 58. Those are impressive numbers. Although he fumbled early in the second half, the conditions on the field were likely to blame. NotesG Wyatt Teller and WR Ray-Ray McCloud were inactive.Buffalo Bills running back Taiwan Jones exits with head injury The Buffalo Bills nearly fumbled away a comeback opportunity in the third quarter against the Los Angeles Chargers. However, Taiwan Jones recovered the ball, and took a shot to the head in the process.Jones lost his helmet while trying to recover Marcus Murphy’s fumbled punt, and he took a helmet to the forehead while in his own end zone. Jones’ sweatband was covered in blood while he was helped off the field.The Chargers were assessed a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness on the play Womens Tre'Davious White Jersey , and since the ball was recovered in a “kicking state,” Buffalo kept the ball. Here is the video of the play:The play took place in the beginning of the third quarter. Buffalo had just scored its first touchdown of the year, a plunge from Chris Ivory, and followed it up with a defensive stop. Punt returner Marcus Murphy should have called for a fair catch on the punt, but he didn’t, and the ensuing hit caused the fumble that Jones recovered. We will update you on Jones’ status when we hear more.
