Bills rally to beat Colts 27-24 in Matt Ryan’s Indy debut

Associated Press  

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Matt Ryan can finally put the Falcons behind him. “I’m part of this team and there’s 30, 40 other guys that it was their first time playing with the Colts today,” Ryan said following a 27-24 preseason-opening loss to the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. He finished 11 of 18 for 86 yards with his second interception coming one play after Bills safety Jaquan Johnson picked off Foles to give Buffalo the ball at the Colts 15. Under Keenum, the Bills managed just 119 net yards offense and five first downs in the first half, with Buffalo’s only score coming on rookie linebacker Terrel Bernard returning Nick Foles’ fumble 69 yards for a touchdown. Sam Ehlinger, the Colts’ sixth-round pick out of Texas last year, finished 10 of 11 for 88 yards with touchdown passes to tight ends Jelani Woods and Michael Jacobson.
