The Buffalo Bills' Week 1 victory over the Baltimore Ravens was historic.

Buffalo trailed by two scores late in the fourth quarter, only to mount one of the most incredible comebacks you will ever see in an NFL game.

In the process, the Bills became the first team in NFL history to defeat the Ravens in a game in which Baltimore scored 40 or more points, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley.

Before Sunday night, the Ravens were 25-0 in such contests.

The Bills are the first team in NFL history to win a game in which their opponent scored 40-plus points and finished with 235-plus rushing yards.

Going into the game, teams were 0-277 in that scenario.

We also had a Scorigami! NBC noted that the 41-40 score in Sunday night's game was the first time that final score had ever been achieved.

Last but not least, the Bills are the first team ever to trail by 15 points with under four minutes left and still win the game in regulation.

As if all that didn't do enough to show how improbable Buffalo's win was, there's this: the Bills had a 0.9% win probability when there was 4:48 left on the clock in the final quarter and the Bills were trailing 40-25.

Truly remarkable.

With the victory, the Bills improve to 4-1 against the Ravens in their last five meetings, with two of those wins coming in the playoffs.

That is bad news for the Ravens, who might have to go through Buffalo to get to the Super Bowl this season.

Buffalo will recharge ahead of a Week 2 road game against the 0-1 New York Jets, while the Ravens will play against the Cleveland Browns, who are also 0-1, in Baltimore.
