Biggest Halftime Leads and Deficits in Bandits' Games (2010 to 2024-25)

Buffalo's fabulous start against Las Vegas in 2025 had me looking for a stat on whether the team had ever recorded such a one-sided first half. But it was nowhere to be found. So ... back to work. The list includes playoff games.
