A lot is being made of the Bills' motivation over the Ravens' long ago slights of head coach Rex Ryan, quarterback Tyrod Taylor and defensive backs coach Ed Reed. But how about the motivations on the field for Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. and linebacker Terrell Suggs -- who all want to prove they are back and healthy. Those intangibles, plus an improving Ravens defense and a home crowd should conspire to make it a long day for the visitors.
Ravens 26, Bills 17
