‘Luck didn’t get any big plays through the air, which was a victory of sorts. But the Bills still allowed four touchdown passes. It wasn’t a horrible day for the secondary. The Colts’ rushing attack did more damage than Luck did with his arm.’

LeSean McCoy ruled out for Buffalo Bills after suffering head injury
‘McCoy, 30, had been the subject of trade speculation ahead of the Oct. 30 deadline.’
Defensive resurgence helps Colts blow out Bills 37-5
‘”They beat us in every phase,” coach Sean McDermott said. “There wasn’t one good moment other than some moving the ball.”‘
Bills pay steep price in Indy for continual offensive woes
‘The short-handed Bills (2-5) couldn’t sustain drives, were forced to throw out of desperation, and again failed to score a touchdown.’
Colts snap four-game slide with rout of Bills
‘”We didn’t get the job done today,” said Bills second-year coach Sean McDermott, “and that starts with me.”‘
Bills RB McCoy (head) ruled out vs. Colts
‘McCoy has endured a tough season, as he did not finish a Week 2 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers after sustaining cracked rib cartilage. He missed the following week as a result.’
LeSean McCoy leaves Bills game, in concussion protocol
‘Quarterback Derek Anderson, who started Sunday’s game less than two weeks after being signed by the Bills, was seen limping through the locker room after the game. Anderson said he got a “little banged up,” although he finished the contest.
Bills sputter to 2-5 on the year, lose to the Colts 37-5
‘While the offense had another poor day, the Bills defense was also ripped apart, especially in a disastrous second quarter that blew the doors open.’
Yikes.
‘If you didn’t laugh you’d cry.’
What was I thinking?
‘Perhaps the defense is cracking under the strain of having to carry this team and knowing they have very little margin for error. In addition to losing one on one battles, there were breakdowns in coverage and missed tackles. A defense that had 11 takeaways and 15 sacks in the last four games came up with a goose egg in both of those categories against Indianapolis, which snapped a four game losing streak. It marked the first time since Sean McDermott took over as head coach that his defense was shutout in sacks and takeaways in the same game.’
Sal’s Sticks: Bills at Colts
‘Of course plenty of other things happened which cost the Bills, but they were trailing only 6-0 and moving the ball well when Clay fumbled it away at the Colts’ 22 yard line and Indianapolis recovered. Then they scored another touchdown on the ensuing drive. Had Clay held on to the ball there, you can’t help but think how things might have played out a bit differently.’
McCoy leaves game with head injury as Bills fall to Colts 37-5
‘The Bills, already without rookie quarterback Josh Allen, lost running back LeSean McCoy early in the first quarter after he took a hard hit as he was going out of bounds. He left the field and headed to the locker room and was evaluated for a head injury.’
Joe B: 7 observations from Buffalo Bills – Indianapolis Colts (10/21/18)
‘If you’re looking for a showcase game for Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin, his performance against the Indianapolis Colts is about as good as its going to get.’
Anderson throws 3 INTs as the Colts trample the Bills 37-5
‘The veteran quarterback was intercepted three times and fumbled once, with three of the four urnovers leading to points for the Colts. Tight end Charles Clay also fumbled, which the Colts capitalized to take a 14-0 lead.’
