Orchard Park, N.Y. (WGR) - The Buffalo Bills improved to 6-1 on the season after beating the Baltimore Ravens, 36-10, on Sunday at Highmark Stadium.
Here are my Arrows Up and Down from the game, starting Up after the win:

ARROW UP:
Tyler Bass
Bass connected on two big field goals from 56 and 51 yards. He also made one from 22 yards out, and connected on three extra point attempts to finish the game 6-for-6 overall.
Bass is now 16-for-16 on field goal attempts on the season.
Davison Igbiosun
“IGB” collected his first-career NFL interception near the end of the first half that led to the Bills kicking a field goal. He was also credited with a tackle and a pass breakup.
Cole Bishop
Bishop sacked Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley and forced a fumble. The Bills recovered, which led to a Bass field goal.
Bishop also had a pair of tackles, including one for loss, and a quarterback hit.
Defense on Zay Flowers
Coming into the game, Flowers had caught 40 passes for 608 yards. The Ravens wide receiver left Orchard Park with 40 catches for 608 yards.
Of course, losing their top two-quarterbacks helped slow him down, but the Bills completely eliminated Flowers from the Baltimore offense. He was targeted five times and had no catches.
The defense/Jim Leonhard
The Bills allowed only 144 yards of offense by the Ravens, and held Baltimore to just 2.9 yards per-play. It's the first time since 2013 the Ravens were held to under 3.0 yards per-offensive play in a game.
Defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard did a great job of putting people in the right place, given some injuries, and keeping the heat on Ravens quarterbacks.
Run defense
Baltimore ran for just 76 yards on the ground, and held to only 4.0 yards per-carry.
Pass defense
Ravens quarterbacks completed 12-of-26 passes (46.1%) for just 91 yards. The Bills also had three sacks and an interception.
Te’Cory Couch and Geno Stone
Couch was signed from the practice squad before Sunday's game, while Stone was elevated from the practice squad for the contest. They combined for 10 tackles, and were a big part of the Bills' defensive performance.
Greg Rousseau
Rousseau filled up the stat sheet with a sack, three total tackles, three quarterback hits, and two pass breakups.
Ed Oliver
Oliver returned from injury and tied Rousseau with three quarterback hits, the most in the game for either team.
Ray Davis
Davis didn’t play a lot, but he made the most of his touches, running six times for 30 yards, averaging 5.0 yards per-run.
D.J. Moore
Moore missed a month due to injuries, then returned by catching four passes for 82 yards and a touchdown, including a highlight-reel 49-yard deep ball in the third quarter.
Third-down defense
The Bills held the Ravens to just 3-of-13 conversions on third down (23.1%).
Red zone offense and defense
The Bills went 3-for-4 (75%) scoring touchdowns once inside the Ravens' red zone, and held Baltimore to just 1-for-3 (33%) on their trips inside the Buffalo 20-yard line.

ARROW DOWN:
Joe Brady’s play-calling
Bills head coach and offensive play-caller Joe Brady was all over the place, especially in the first half, when he just didn’t stick with what his team does best. He got too cute a few times, which cost yardage and even points.
Short-yardage offense
This is a byproduct of the play-calling.
The Bills had third or fourth down with 1-yard to go on multiple occasions, but Brady called Josh Allen runs to the outside a couple times, which resulted in negative plays.
Third-down offense
The Bills were just 4-for-14 (28.6%) on third downs overall.
Not finishing drives in first half
The Bills beat themselves on offense far too often. They had chances to put the game away way before they did, but kept making mistakes that led to ending drives without touchdowns.
The Bills scored a touchdown on the first drive, but then didn’t score a touchdown on their next seven possessions of the first half.
Clock management at end of first half
Brady also should have handled the end of the first half clock differently.
They faced a 3rd-and-24 at the Baltimore 48-yard line with over 50 seconds left and a timeout. However, he let the clock run down to 20 seconds before calling that last timeout, essentially knowing they had to get out of bounds with not much time left to kick a field goal.
They did after an Allen run, but it didn’t have to be that stressed and rushed. If Allen had been tackled in bounds, they would have had to rush the field goal team on to kick it quickly.
Jackson Hawes
On the Bills' third series of the game, Hawes dropped a pass and in the process, the ball flew up in the air and was intercepted. He was also called for a holding penalty that wiped out a 9-yard run.
Dropped passes by Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid
It wasn’t just Hawes who dropped a pass, though. Knox and Kincaid both dropped passes, and Kincaid’s would have been an easy walk-in touchdown.
