‘Douglas would arrive at the Cardinals’ facility early each morning, the time reserved for practice squad players to lift weights, followed by a study session to make sure he knew the scout-team plays. He would leave late because post-practice, on-field time was his outlet to work on his techniques.’

How do the Buffalo Bills win in Indianapolis? 4 keys to a victory over the Colts
‘Run it, run it. The Indianapolis Colts have the second-worst run defense in the NFL right now, allowing 149.8 yards on the ground per game. Running back James Cook and company should be ready to capitalize on that.’
Bills-Colts numbers to know: These 4 stats could shape Buffalo’s game vs. Indianapolis
‘139-65 – The Bills have outscored opponents by that much in the second half of games this season. The Bills are No.1 in second-half points per game (15.4) and No. 9 in first half points per game (13.4).’
Bills-Colts: Who you got? Buffalo News writers make their predictions on Sunday’s game
‘This has the makings of a letdown game. The Bills can’t let that happen. Even though they effectively won the AFC East last week, the No. 1 seed in the conference isn’t out of the question. To get it, the Bills have to beat Indianapolis before they can even start making plans for the Chiefs in Week 11. Give me more of Ray Davis, who played only nine snaps last week, on offense. That’s not enough. Quarterback Josh Allen needs to continue to play a clean game, as the best way to let an underdog gain confidence is to turn over the ball. This is a good gut-check game for the Bills’ run defense, since Jonathan Taylor has given them issues in the past. The defense needs to make the Colts’ offense one dimensional so the pass rushers can get after Joe Flacco. Bills, 28-20.’
Bills Mailbag: How will the new additions fit on the defensive line?
‘With Dawuane Smoot going to injured reserve, the signing of Jefferson makes perfect sense. They are very similar players, each of whom has the versatility to slide inside or play the edge. Jefferson has been productive since leaving Buffalo. I’ll admit I’m perplexed by the signing of Phillips. The Bills’ need at defensive tackle seems to be more for a run stuffer than a penetrating, pass-rush type, which Phillips mostly has been in his career.’

‘Taylor is a big play waiting to happen, and it will be critical for Buffalo to mount a strong push up front which will allow its linebackers to roam free and prevent the Indianapolis running back from bursting through for 10-plus-yard gains, which he has ripped of at a high clip this season.’

‘Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has only played the Bills once in his career and he made the most of it. The former University of Wisconsin product finished with 32 carries for 185 yards and 5 total touchdowns in a 41-15 victory in 2021. Over the last two games of the 2024 season, Taylor has recorded 33 carries for 153 yards and 1 touchdown.’

NFL picks, predictions Week 10: Indianapolis Colts vs. Buffalo Bills
‘”The Bills are on a four-game winning streak, and Josh Allen continues to make his MVP case with 17 TDs and two interceptions. The Colts are last in the NFL with a run defense that allows 149.8 yards per game and a lingering quarterback question with Joe Flacco and Anthony Richardson. Buffalo is 3-1 S/U and 3-1 ATS on the road this season. They will get even more separation in the AFC East race here.”‘
Injury Report: Designations ahead of Buffalo Bills-Indianapolis Colts
‘Takeaway: With Keon Coleman out and Amari Cooper questionable, the Bills will benefit from Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel being active. Those two haven’t put up great numbers in 2024, but it gives Josh Allen extra wideouts to feed against the Colts. Plus, Kincaid and Knox should see their fair share of volume.’
