Week 10: Buffalo Bills take on Indianapolis Colts

INDIANAPOLIS – The Buffalo Bills are taking on the Indianapolis Colts Sunday at 1 p.m.

Currently, the Bills are number one in the AFC East with seven wins and two losses for the season. The Colts are sitting in second in the AFC South with four wins and five losses.

This week, the Bills signed two players to bolster their defensive line, Jordan Phillips and Quinton Jefferson. On the other hand, the Bills offensive may have a tougher time with Keon Coleman and Amari Cooper each out with wrist injuries. The Bills signed wide receiver Jalen Virgil from the practice squad earlier this week and elevated wide receiver Tyrell Shavers from the practice squad to fill in for injuries. 

The Colts have been a rollercoaster this year with two different winning streaks, two different losing streaks, and two different quarterbacks Flacco and Anthony Richardson.

Both have played over 240 snaps this year and the Colts offense is drastically different with whoever’s under center. Neither Flacco nor Richardson are lighting the world on fire, but Flacco’s QBR of 61.9 far surpasses Richardson’s 36.7.

However, the second-year man out of Florida is a much greater threat to run the ball. In all five starts for Richardson, the Colts have rushed for over 100 yards with Richardson accounting for nearly 29 percent of those yards. 

Flacco is slated to get the start on Sunday.

Bills defense has been a top-10 unit this year, allowing 19.4 points per game so far, but both its rush and pass defense rank middle of the pack while the team is tied for the fourth-most takeaways in the league. Another reason that the QB situation matters for Indy. Flaccos’ interception rate of 1.5% ranks just outside the top 10 of the league, while Richardon’s 5.3 is the most in the league.
