‘It may have been the snowiest home game in Bills history. A lake effect snowstorm brought both the Buffalo and Indianapolis offenses to a crawl for much of the day and it took overtime before a winner could be determined. Joe Webb hit Deonte Thompson for a 35-yard pass with two minutes left in OT to put the Bills in scoring territory. Three plays later LeSean McCoy on his 32nd carry ran 21 yards for the game-winning touchdown with 1:33 left for a 13-7 victory.’

‘I’m literally, I’m standing there with a couple of guys and I said ‘you know, Shady’s going to break one and run it in because I don’t know if my heart can take a field goal try in this,’ and literally two plays later he did. As soon as I saw him break it with no flags, I literally wheeled and ran straight inside. They would have had to come drag me out of here if they told me it didn’t count.’

‘“Well we like to put a lot of pressure on the guys up front and get them going,” said McCoy. “I kind of asked them, ‘What do you guys want to do? What type of runs do you want?’ Up the middle, to the side. So, we tried to correct those and make them work. It was the run game altogether collectively to get it done. The guys up front blocked pretty well and I got a chance to bounce it outside and score.”’

‘Bills head coach Sean McDermott called QB Tyrod Taylor a game-time decision on Friday. Come Sunday morning however, the knee injury that kept Taylor from participating fully in practice all week will also keep him out of the starting lineup today against the Colts.’

‘“Very eager every time I’m on the field. Every opportunity in the NFL when you’re behind the center is a great opportunity,” Peterman said. “Always just extremely thankful to be here and to have those opportunities. Just staying ready and thankful and ready to play.”’
