With 43 seconds left in the game Bert Jones hit Doug Marsh for a 4yd touchdown pass to clinch the win. The Bills would drive to the Colts 35 yard line, but time would run out before they could get a chance at a game winning field goal. The Bills looked to be the better team forcing turnovers and moving the ball well, but they struggled to score. OJ Simpson looked slow for the Bills and slowed down as the game progressed. Billy Sims on the other hand looked better than last season, and got stronger as the game progressed. If Bert Jones and the passing game can play better the Colts may turn out to be a dangerous team.

O.J. is running behind a rebuilt offensive line, as G2 Bill Adams and T2 Steve McDaniels are new starters.
ReplyDeleteThe only new starter for the Colts is S2 Bob Smith, who moves into the first unit after the release of NFL80 S1 Ray Oldham.
Check that ... Baltimore's WR2 of NFL80, Glenn Doughty, retired, so Bill Malouf is also a new starter.
