Simpson run for 138 yards and a touchdown, fullback Jim Braxton pile on another 121 scrimmage yards (102 rushing) with three touchdowns, and Buffalo remain unbeaten while averaging more than 33 points and 300 yards rushing through the first three games. Joe Ferguson also threw a TD pass to J.D. Hill that put the Bills ahead 24-7 at halftime. Dwight Harrison had two interceptions, while Tony Greene picked off one pass and returned a fumble to the 1-yard line to set up a Braxton scoring plunge. The Bills scored 38 again the next week at Baltimore during a season in which they had 420 points, the most by an NFL team in the 1970s.’
