‘In the first quarter, Buffalo’s starting defense forced a punt on the first series of the game. However, Buffalo could not get much going on their first drive either. Buffalo did let Josh Allen throw it on every play of the opening series, 2-for-5 for 17 yards in their opening drive. Following a Colts three-and-out, Allen led the Bills offense down the field with big plays to Zay Jones and John Brown, but Buffalo fizzled out in the red zone and then missed a field goal, keeping the game scoreless. Allen’s day was over after that second drive, finishing 6-of-11 for 66 yards.’

‘We hear a lot about the depth the Bills have at cornerback, but we saw it against the Colts. Lafayette Pitts did a terrific job breaking up a fourth down pass in Bills territory and another pass in the end zone where he knocked the ball right out of the receiver’s hands. With E.J. Gaines out for weeks, there is opportunity for some of these young players.’

‘Lawson is going into the final year of his contract and played right away like a man who wants to have a big year and get paid. He was in the Colts backfield twice on the first series, causing problems for them, and did a great job of setting the edge against the run.’
