Baltimore's AFC showdown in Buffalo turned into a quarterback emergency. The Ravens trail the Bills 16-7 at halftime after losing both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley to injuries in a chaotic first half, forcing them to turn to third-stringer Joe Fagnano.

Fagnano is an undrafted rookie, now operating as Baltimore's emergency quarterback in one of the biggest spots on the Week 8 slate. Jackson had just returned to the lineup for the matchup, billed as a massive AFC measuring-stick game against Josh Allen's Bills — instead, the story by halftime was a depth chart stripped to its last name.

A nine-point deficit is survivable on the scoreboard, but the math changes entirely with a third-string rookie under center against a Buffalo defense playing at home. The Ravens' path in the second half likely runs through their ground game and defense keeping the score within reach. The severity of Jackson's and Huntley's injuries — and whether either can return — now looms over Baltimore's game, and potentially its season.
