On this episode of Talking Buffalo, the NFL regular season has officially kicked off and Patrick Moran is joined by broadcaster Steve Bermel for full live and instant reactions just minutes after the Buffalo Bills stunned the Baltimore Ravens, 41-10 in historic fashion to win their season opener Sunday night at Highmark Stadium.

The Ravens had a 99.1% chance of winning the game with 4:18 left in the fourth quarter per ESPN analytics, but the Bills scored the game's final 17 points to win on a Matt Prater field goal as the clock expired. Quite literally it was one of the most remarkable regular season victories in franchise history.

The win is obviously the biggest takeaway---- but there's plenty to be concerned about. Some of the cast has changed but the 2025 Buffalo Bills looked very much like the 2024 Buffalo Bills. Now, don't get it twisted---the 2024 Bills advanced to the AFC title game and were but a few plays away from reaching the Super Bowl, but the issues that plagued the Bills last season looked anything but fixed against the Ravens, which to be fair is possibly the best team on paper in the NFL and certainly looked like it in Orchard Park Sunday night--until the fourth quarter of course..
