BillsM@fia Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Superbowl champions are now 15-4 in the kickoff game since 2004. Buffalo is in rare company. Buffalo also holds the largest margin of victory against a defending Superbowl champion on their home turf. (Broncos defeating Ravens in 2013 was held in Denver) If it wasn't for the four turnovers, we would've scored even more. Hell, Rams touchdown drive needed to be aided by a kickoff out of bounds and an offensive lineman pushing Cooper Kupp for the fourth down conversion. Their only other scoring drive was a low probability 58 yard field goal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_Kickoff_Game#Win/loss_records 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The matchups matter Key phrase "on their home turf" Denver Broncos beat defending champions Baltimore Ravens in 2013 by a score of 49-27, but the game was held in Denver. Matchups in kickoff game are always strong teams playing one another. Edited September 10, 2022 by BillsM@fia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
