Wallace had the worst season of his career while in Minnesota, where he caught just 39 passes for 473 yards and two touchdowns.

Baltimore has a distinct advantage along the defensive line on the right side where defensive end Timmy Jernigan and nose tackle Brandon Williams will likely lineup the majority of time against right tackle John Miller and right guard Jordan Mills. Perriman, who missed all of last season with a knee injury, saw his first action in a regular-season game since being taken in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft. “On offence, we just couldn’t get anything going”.
“Today was just a glimpse of what we can become”, Weddle said. It never really improved throughout the game and it cost the Bills.
This was not a great Ravens defense.
Baltimore was ravaged by injuries previous year as QB Joe Flacco, RB Justin Forsett, LB Terrell Suggs and WR Steve Smith Sr. were lost to season-ending injuries. After a leaky first half in which Baltimores Joe Flacco connected with veteran speedster Mike Wallace for a 66-yard scoring bolt, the Bills defence made adjustments and turned positively ferocious.
Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (25) is upended by Baltimore Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb (21) during the second half of an NFL football game n Baltimore, Sunday, Sept. 11, 2016. Taylor will be a QB2 for Thursday night’s contest with the New York Jets. “We would have had him a few more times, but he made plays with his feet”. “I thought we did a good job of tackling LeSean McCoy”, Harbaugh said.
“When I left there, I was looking for an opportunity to get a chance to compete”, Taylor recalled this week.
Baltimore didn’t look much better than the Bills offensively, but it was just enough. Both losses have come against the Baltimore Ravens. However, the Bills quarterback shed an Albert McClellan sack attempt, and then spun away from Terrell Suggs before finding tight end Charles Clay open in the middle of the field for a 33-yard gain. Sabuda said of Taylor’s performance in which he completed 15 of his 22 passes for only 111 yards.
What was supposed to be the building block of a strong and playoff ready offense clearly failed on Sunday.
The Ravens also grounded Buffalo’s running attack by aggressively pursuing the ball. Taylor didn’t throw the ball much down the middle and spent much of the day throwing into the flats.
Past year was hard for both of the Ravens’ deep threats.
The Bills have now lost five straight road games going back to a year ago. Nonetheless, the two backs are perfectly happy to split carries.
The team that tied Tampa Bay for the National Football League lead in infractions (143 or 9 a game) and accrued the most penalty yardage (1,248, 78 per game) was up to its 2015 standards yesterday.

I think the focus going in to the game was to not suffer any more injuries, thus the reason for a lot of the conservative play calls and the max-protection sets.
