Bills Stun Ravens 41-40 as Emergency Signee Matt Prater Nails Walk-Off Winner

Signed days after Tyler Bass went on IR, the 41-year-old became the franchise’s oldest player, then delivered under pressure.

Overview

  • Josh Allen led an 18-point surge in the final 3:56, finishing with 394 passing yards, two passing touchdowns and two rushing scores with no interceptions.
  • Matt Prater, elevated after a late-week signing, went 3-for-3 on field goals including the 32-yarder at the horn and was 2-for-2 on extra points.
  • Allen said Prater told him before the game, “I’m going to give you everything I’ve got tonight,” a promise the veteran fulfilled in his Bills debut.
  • Tyler Bass is on injured reserve with a hip/groin issue and must miss at least four games, with Prater handling kicking duties in the interim.
  • Allen publicly noted some fans left early and asked them to “have some faith,” while teammates joked they initially mistook the 41-year-old Prater for a coach.
