Game of the Week: Colts at Bills

In a rematch of the AFC Wild Card game from a year ago, we get Indianapolis and Buffalo as the weather begins to turn in Western New York.

Despite being a dome team, Indianapolis is built for a physical game. Second-year running back Jonathan Taylor is one of the better youngster in the league and all present a good challenge for Buffalo’s front four. Also, the Colts have a terrific defensive line anchored by tackle DeForest Buckner, arguably the biggest All-Pro and Pro Bowl snub of 2020.

It’ll be fascinating to see if the Colts can stop Josh Allen, though, who lit them up time and against last January. Indianapolis didn’t do much to address the secondary, hoping instead for some more steps forward by men like Khari Willis.

For Buffalo, this is a game that could determine whether it pulls away in the AFC East or has to fight it out with the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots come December and January.
