Even if he returns in Week 8, his team will be in great danger of dropping a third consecutive game. The Bills enter the showdown off a bye and will be positioned well to outduel the Ravens in a shootout should two of the NFL's last three MVPs go head-to-head in a Jackson vs. Josh Allen classic. And if the Bills see Tyler Huntley instead, the shakiness of their defense might not matter much.
