Ravens vs Bills streaming guide: TV listings and kickoff time for NFL week 8

The Baltimore Ravens expect to welcome back quarterback Lamar Jackson for a pivotal Sunday matchup against the Buffalo Bills, a game that could reshape the AFC pecking order. With Buffalo coming off a bye and Baltimore reeling from back-to-back blown double-digit leads, the result matters for divisional standings and playoff momentum.

What’s at stake this week

Baltimore’s recent losses—most notably a dramatic collapse after building a sizable early lead—have left the team vulnerable inside the AFC North. The Ravens sit at the bottom of the division and are 0-2 in intra-division play, a hole that becomes harder to climb out of the later the season gets.

Buffalo, by contrast, remains driven by quarterback Josh Allen. While the Bills’ defense has struggled across multiple statistical categories this season, Allen’s dual-threat play and running-game support keep Buffalo a dangerous opponent even when the defense is underperforming.

Sunday’s outcome will reverberate beyond a single result: a Bills win could cement Buffalo as an early AFC favorite; a Ravens victory — especially with Jackson back under center — would restore belief in Baltimore’s top-tier credentials.
