‘“We’ve got to have a faster start. We didn’t play our best today, but we’ll take the win,” Allen said. ”Four forced turnovers — we’ve got to hold onto the ball a little bit better. We’ll take them how we can get them, and we’ll turn the page tomorrow.”’

Bills sloppy in win vs. Colts, need to improve before Chiefs
‘The win, however, was far from a clean effort. The Bills suffered consistent miscues that were relieved by the defense — forcing four turnovers, including a pick-six on the Colts’ first play by nickel corner Taron Johnson, and holding the Colts to 4-for-11 (36%) on third downs. The Bills will have some areas to clean up, but with little time to work as Buffalo is hosting the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs (4:25 p.m. EST, CBS) on Sunday. Correcting gaffes and polishing up what didn’t work in Indianapolis will be key.’

Simpson, who had 57 scores as a Bills running back. Allen’s 57 rushing touchdowns are the second-most all-time by a quarterback, just 18 behind Cam Newton for the all-time lead.’

It was a resilient win overall. Very resilient win.”‘
Allen: Despite the 30-20 Road Victory, Allen knows the Bills have to be ‘better on offense’
‘I mean, again, guys stepping up, knowing they’re knowing their job, knowing their assignment, and going out there and executing can be cleaner”, Allen noted. “That’s that’s me. So again, just making sure we’re communicating well, and just try again, just trying to hold on the football. And, you know, we got to play better on offense,” Allen added.’
Opinion: Simon: Bills Break These Colts
‘In a nutshell the Bills offense looked good in the second and fourth quarters and not good in the first and third quarters. It was a struggle for the Bills passing game but that was to be expected considering they had to make a go of it without two of their best weapons. Both Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman were inactive. They also lost tight end Dalton Kincaid in the game to a knee injury. Allen threw two interceptions and both were on him as opposed to his previous two picks this season.’
Opinion: Capaccio: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Bills at Colts
