The Buffalo Bills beat the Indianapolis Colts in Indianapolis on Sunday for the first time since 1998, winning 30-20 in a game that had plenty of back-and-forth to it. Well, the first half was hotly contested, anyway, as Buffalo jumped out to a 10-0 lead, trailed 13-10, and then ultimately ran out to a 30-13 lead before allowing a garbage-time touchdown.
While that late touchdown didn’t do much for anyone — unless you bet the over — it did make the final margin of victory look closer than it should have. On defense, Buffalo did plenty of things well, and while the offense turned it over twice in a single game for the first time this season, they still won the turnover battle by forcing four more turnovers of their own on defense.
