Ravens visit 5-1 Bills in Orchard Park looking to end two-game slide

The Baltimore Ravens travel to Orchard Park, N.Y., to face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026, with kickoff set for 1:00 p.m. ET at Highmark Stadium. CBS has the broadcast.

The Ravens arrive at 4-3 after back-to-back losses. The Bills are 5-1 and sit atop the AFC East.

Where the Ravens stand

Baltimore had won three straight before its current skid, beating Dallas 34-31 on the road, Tennessee 24-18 at home and Atlanta 30-23 in overtime on the road. The run ended with a 13-10 loss at Cleveland on Oct. 18, followed by a 35-13 home loss to Cincinnati on Oct. 25.

Those two defeats have dropped the Ravens to fourth in the AFC North. Cleveland and Pittsburgh are each 5-2, Cincinnati is 4-2 and Baltimore is 4-3. The Ravens have scored 169 points and allowed 167 this season.

One point in Baltimore's favor: the Ravens are 3-1 on the road this season, and this one is away from home.

The Bills' form

Buffalo has won four of its last five, with the only loss coming at home to New England, 29-26, on Oct. 4. The Bills opened that stretch with a 41-31 home win over Detroit and a 24-16 home win over the Chargers, then took two road games by three points each, a 37-34 overtime win at the Rams and a 33-30 win at Las Vegas.

Buffalo is 2-1 at home. The Bills have scored 197 points and allowed 171, and they lead the AFC East ahead of 4-3 New England.
