by 2) Josh Allen ties Peyton Manning in 17-point comeback over Ravens
Allen led the biggest comeback of his career, bringing the Bills back from a 17-point first-half deficit against Baltimore. It was the Bills’ first comeback win of that margin or more since Weeks 2 and 3 of 2011 when Ryan Fitzpatrick was the Bills’ starting quarterback.
Allen had his 22nd career game with at least one passing and rushing touchdown, the second most by a player in his first five seasons in the Super Bowl era (Cam Newton had 31 from 2011-15). The 2018 first-round pick now has 147 career rushing touchdowns, tied with Peyton Manning for the fourth most through a player’s first five seasons in NFL history. Allen needs 25 touchdowns in his final 13 games of 2022 to break Hall of Famer Dan Marino’s NFL record of 171. He would also pass Cam Newton (160) and Patrick Mahomes (159) on that list if he did it.
3) The Ravens are writing the wrong kind of story after blowing yet another lead
The Ravens found another way to blow a big lead in Week 4, suffering their second loss this season after leading by at least 17 points in the game. It was the Ravens’ second straight home loss after blowing a 17-point lead in the game (Baltimore blew a 21-point lead against Miami in Week 2). They tied seven other teams for the most such home losses in a season in NFL history. The 2003 Falcons and 2020 Chargers (three such games) are the only teams in NFL history with more extended 17+ point leads in an entire season.
Lamar Jackson threw an interception on fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard line with 4:09 left to tie the score at 20. Baltimore never saw the ball again. The Ravens are the first team since play-by-play data was recorded in 1991 to be tied or ahead and have the ball inside the opponent’s 5-yard line to turn the ball over and lose the game without regaining possession. occupation.
4) Lions games that offer historical scoring
Through four weeks, some of the best fantasy football advice could be this: start all the players you have involved in Lions games. The Lions lead the NFL in scoring offense (35.0 PPG) and are last in scoring defense (35.3 PPG allowed) in 2022. The only team to do that for an entire season was the 2000 Rams, led by Hall of Famer Kurt Warner. The Rams lost in the Wild Card Round that season and did so between Super Bowl appearances in 1999 (won SB XXXIV vs. Titans) and 2001 (lost SB XXXVI vs. Patriots).
The Lions scored 140 points and allowed 141 points in 2022. That total of 281 points is the most combined points and points allowed in four games in NFL history. The 2022 Lions have lost two games in which they scored at least 35 points, tied for the most in a single season in NFL history.
