Bills Reach 400 Franchise Wins with Dominant Showing Against Colts

The Buffalo Bills picked up their 400th win (including playoffs) in franchise history in stylish fashion, pummeling the Indianapolis Colts by a score of 27-14 in Sunday's regular-season opener at Ralph Wilson Stadium, per Sportsnet Stats.

Although the final margin was a modest 13 points, the Bills had full control of the game throughout.

Quarterback Tyrod Taylor found wide receiver Percy Harvin for a 51-yard touchdown to open the scoring in the final minute of the first quarter, and the Bills then extended the lead to 17-0 before halftime.

Not quite done, the Bills marched 80 yards on 11 plays on the opening drive of the second half, eventually taking a commanding 24-0 lead on a one-yard touchdown plunge by running back Anthony Dixon.

The Colts narrowed the gap to 27-14 when quarterback Andrew Luck threw a six-yard touchdown pass to tight end Dwayne Allen with just under six minutes remaining, but Luck then tossed a game-sealing interception to Bills safety Aaron Williams on the next drive.

The Bills now have a 386-443-8 regular-season record as a franchise, with a 14-15 mark in the playoffs that, of course, includes a 0-4 record in the Super Bowl.

Though they appear primed for playoff contention this season, the Bills won't be approaching the .500 mark any time soon.
