Observations: Defense carries the load for Buffalo Bills in win over Indianapolis Colts
‘The Bills’ defense registered a season-high four takeaways, a major factor in sometimes-ugly 30-20 victory – one that lifted them to an 8-2 record for the first time since 1993, maintained their vise grip on the AFC East and set up an enormous showdown with the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs next weekend in Orchard Park.’
Ryan O'Halloran: Good enough to beat Colts, Josh Allen must be better against Kansas City
‘There will be days like Sunday, when Josh Allen’s not quite up to being Superman. On those days, the Buffalo Bills need someone else to step up. Against the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium, it wasn’t just one person stepping up, however. It was an entire unit.’
Depleted at receiver, Buffalo Bills find ways to win with Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins, Dawson Knox
‘With wide receivers Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman sidelined because of respective wrist injuries, the Bills once again needed multiple players to step up, and they made it work. It wasn’t the prettiest outing, and it was a close game for longer than it needed to be, considering the four takeaways by the Bills defense. Tight end Dawson Knox joked that on this day “everybody eats” applied to the defense more than the offense.’
Three questions: The Bills are at a 31-year high. What does that say about them – and the Chiefs game?
‘Buffalo hasn’t started 8-2 since the 1993 season. That was 31 years ago. Amazing. Few people had the Bills sitting 8-2 at this point, and nobody expected them to hold a five-game lead in the AFC East.’

Plays that shaped the game: How Josh Allen left the Colts grasping on key running plays
‘The Bills offensive line gave Allen great blocking on his 13-yard touchdown run to give Buffalo the lead for good, 17-13.’
Report Card: How the Buffalo Bills' run defense rebounded in win over Indianapolis Colts
‘It was not great that there was miscommunication on the second play from scrimmage for the offense. It was not a great start for offensive coordinator Joe Brady’s group. Calling an Allen run inside the Colts’ red zone on the second offensive possession was just one of the play-calls that was easy to second-guess. The offense looked disjointed through a fairly large part of the game, and Brady has to share in the blame for that. Still, this is only the fifth time in franchise history the Bills have won at least four straight games and scored 30-plus points in each one of them. Looking at the big picture, the Bills are 8-2 for the first time in more than 30 years. They won in Indianapolis for the first time since 1998. The Colts had not lost a game by more than eight points all season, and trailed by 17 with only 2 seconds left. It wasn’t always pretty, but head coach Sean McDermott had his team focused on the task at hand and not looking ahead to Kansas City in Week 11.’
