All Buffalo Rumblings insights about Lamar Jackson

PositiveProjectionOct 31, 2026
Returning from a three-game absence due to ankle injury, Jackson's return significantly elevates Baltimore's offensive threat against a struggling Buffalo defense (30th in points allowed, 31st in yards allowed). However, if his mobility is limited by the ankle, it could reduce his effectiveness, as he consistently makes huge plays with his legs; Buffalo's defensive scheme change under new coordinator adds uncertainty about whether their historical success containing Jackson will translate this year.

Lamar Jackson was out for three weeks with an injury, which may have skewed his statistical performance downward. The source notes that despite this absence, the Ravens' offense has been average almost entirely, with their lone bright spot being turnover avoidance and their sole weakness being sack allowance. Jackson has been taken down seven times on the season with one interception, compared to backup Tyler Huntley's ten sacks and one interception. The source acknowledges that Jackson can play at a high level objectively, but the injury context is relevant to interpreting his season-to-date metrics.

Lamar Jackson is set to return this Sunday after missing three games with an ankle injury. In the first four games before injury, Jackson completed 70.8% of his passes at 10.1 yards-per-attempt with six touchdowns and one interception; he also rushed 19 times for 144 yards and a touchdown. His 80.9% adjusted completion rate ranked fifth in the NFL at that point. The source expects him to be fully operational when on the field, noting he was performing at an elite level before the injury.

Jackson has shown mixed results against Buffalo across seven meetings including playoffs. He has thrown for 1,094 yards, 10 touchdowns, and five interceptions while being sacked 12 times. Buffalo has held him below 165 passing yards in five of seven games. Jackson is 3-4 overall (3-1 in regular season, 0-2 in playoffs), indicating the Bills have forced mistakes when stakes are highest. In the 2025 season opener, Jackson posted his best performance against Buffalo with a 144.4 passer rating, 209 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, 70 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown, yet still lost 41-40 after Buffalo scored 16 unanswered points in the final four minutes.

Lamar Jackson will return from a three-game ankle injury absence to play against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. The former MVP missed games against the Browns and Bengals (consecutive AFC North losses) and the Falcons, during which the Ravens went 1-2. Jackson was limited in practice before Week 7's Bengals game, received a questionable designation Friday, and was ruled out Saturday; however, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport confirmed on Peter Schrager's show 'Big Day' that Jackson will play in Orchard Park on Sunday.
