Bills can’t match Colts’ physicality in blowout loss (Week 11 report card)
‘In addition to their lackluster play in stopping the run and pass, Buffalo’s defense was penalized multiple times and could not get off the field on third downs. The fact that Indianapolis punted just once on Sunday tells you everything you need to know about Buffalo’s defensive effort.’
Five takeaways: Bills lay an egg, get blown out as Taylor scores five TDs in Colts win
‘Following a terrible performance against Indy, Buffalo has plenty to worry about, and penalties are near the top of the list.’
Sullivan: From COVID to Josh Allen, Bills’ losses raising issues
‘This is no cause for panic, as Micah Hyde would tell us, but it certainly has the look of a crisis. It’s not so much that the Bills lost, but that once again they were physically beaten at the point of attack on both sides of the ball, that they lost the battle in the proverbial trenches.’

Taylor Runs Up The Score With 5 TDs; Colts Beat Bills 41-15
‘”We’re really good football team when we don’t bite ourselves in the butt. What we put on the field today is not who we are,” said Josh Allen, who threw two touchdown passes, both to Stefon Diggs, and two interceptions. “We need to do a better job on all fronts. There’s no way around it, but at the same time, it’s not panic mode.”’
Bottom Falls Out For Bills In Bumbling 41-15 Loss To Colts
‘With four turnovers and no takeaways, combined with Taylor scoring a Colts franchise-record five times, the Bills (6-4) lost for the third time in five outings and ceded ground to the New England Patriots (7-4) atop the AFC East.’
Jonathan Taylor scores 5 TDs, leads Colts to blowout victory over Bills
‘The Colts forced four turnovers in the game and scored touchdowns after two of them to increase their lead to 24-7 in the first half. Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 21 of 35 passes for 200 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.’
Bills vs. Colts score: Jonathan Taylor explodes for franchise-record 5 TDs as Indy pulls off upset in Buffalo
‘This wasn’t the sharpest game by Josh Allen, who completed 21 of 35 for 209 yards, two touchdowns and two picks. Part of that was due to the rainy weather in Buffalo, but he also had a couple of poor decisions in the loss. Meanwhile, Carson Wentz completed 11 of 20 for 106 yards and a touchdown. On top of those five touchdowns, Taylor finished his day with 185 yards rushing and caught all three of his targets for 19 yards. He also became the first running back in the NFL to surpass 1,000 yards rushing this season in the midst of this win.’
Colts’ upset win over Bills ends with final score that’s never been seen before in NFL history
‘If you’re not familiar with Scorigami, it’s pretty simple: The internet cheers when the NFL gives us a final score that’s never been seen before and that’s what the Colts’ 41-15 upset win over the Bills gave us on Sunday.’
Bills can’t contain Jonathan Taylor, blown out by Colts in Orchard Park
‘The Indianapolis Colts running back dominated the day in Orchard Park with 204 total yards and five touchdowns, which included 185 yards rushing and four scores on the ground in a dominating 41-15 win over the Bills.’
Opinion: Tide is turning in AFC East
‘The defeat in Jacksonville to the Jaguars two weeks ago was a shocking upset, but you could convince yourself that it was just a bad day at work. The Bills took their opponent for granted and got burned. There’s no reason you can possibly come up with to ease your mind after what happened at Highmark Stadium on Sunday.’
Bulldog: Favorites No More
‘With the score still 24-7, settling for a field goal attempt on 4th and 5 from the Colts 31-yard line on the Bills second possession of the 2nd half gives us even more reason to question McDermott for his choices.’
Opinion: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Colts at Bills
‘Four turnovers – three interceptions and a fumble lost. A horrible job of taking care of the football by the Bills offense.’
Jonathan Taylor, Colts exact revenge against Bills with a 41-15 win in Orchard Park
