  6. Buffalo Bills are NFL's 3rd-ranked defense. Players detail how they'll deal with Colts' Andrew Luck Orchard Park, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills play their fifth road game of the season Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts to end a brutal stretch of games that included just two games at New Era Field through almost the first two months of the season. The Bills defense has held up and has even gained momentum as the season has progressed. After holding the Tennessee Titans to just four field goals and 221 yards of total offense in Week 5, Buffalo followed that up with perhaps an even better showing on the road in Houston. The Bills sacked Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson seven times, forced three turnovers and held them to just 216 yards of total offense. Buffalo is ranked third in the league in total defense, allowing just 311 yards per game this year. The Bills have faced Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers, Kirk Cousins, Watson and now Colts quarterback Andrew Luck. Offensively the Bills have been bad this season for the most part, ranking last in passing offense through six weeks and second last in total offense. The defense has had to be almost perfect to keep the team in games and now they face Luck, who has attempted the most passes this season and has the second-most touchdowns (16) behind only Patrick Mahomes. The defense is saying all the right things and isn't implying any frustration with the struggling offense. But Bills running back LeSean McCoy admitted this week that the players on the offensive side of the ball feel like they're letting down the defense. NYUP.com caught up with a few players from the Bills' defense and coach Sean McDermott to get their take on Luck and what it's going to take to slow him down Sunday. Connect The Dots: Colts-Bills (2018, Week 7) INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts and Buffalo Bills are set for their 2018 Week 7 matchup on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. It’s that time of the week where we Connect The Dots between the two teams:
  7. Week 7 NFL score predictions: A guide to best games, more Bills (2-4) at Colts (1-5): 1 p.m. ET, CBS Point spread: IND -7.5 | Matchup quality: 32.7 (of 100) Mike Rodak's pick: This game has the potential to be sloppy between two teams that rank in the top six in turnovers lost and in the top nine in turnovers forced. It seems reasonable to lean in the direction of Andrew Luck over Derek Andersonand in favor of the home team. But one bounce the Bills' way could change the outcome. Colts 17, Bills 14 Mike Wells' pick: The Colts are off to their worst start since the 2011 season. The only positive outside of Luck's play this season is that they could have receiver T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) back for the first time since Week 4. Hilton's return will help a group that has 13 drops in the past three games. Scoring will be tough, as Buffalo is ranked 10th in total defense. Colts 17, Bills 10 FPI win projection: IND, 79.5 percent. The Colts are the biggest favorite of the week, according to FPI, but they might not put up points on offense the way they have over the past few weeks. Luck's three-game streak of 300-plus yards and three touchdown passes could come to an end, as the Bills' under-the-radar defense ranks fourth in defensive efficiency.
  8. Week 7 NFL Score Predictions: A Guide to Best Games, More Saints (4-1) at Ravens (4-2): 4:05 p.m. ET, Fox Point spread: BAL -2.5 | Matchup quality: 80.9 (of 100) Mike Triplett's pick: I'm tempted to pick a loss here for the Saints since they're on the road and facing the NFL's No. 1 defense. But I can't bet against Drew Brees accomplishing something he wants to add to his career bucket list in felling the Ravens, the only team he has never beaten in his 18-year career. And the Saints actually have been very good outdoors lately, with a 5-2 record over the past two years. Expect Brees to lean on his RB duo of Alvin Kamaraand Mark Ingram to get this one done. Saints 25, Ravens 22 Jamison Hensley's pick: The Ravens are coming off a franchise-record 11 sacks, but they'll be hard-pressed to get to Brees. He gets rid of the ball quicker than anyone in the league, which creates a big problem for Baltimore. Since the start of the 2015 season, the Ravens are 11-17 (.392) when recording two or fewer sacks in a game. Saints 30, Ravens 27 FPI win projection: BAL, 60.4 percent. Brees is second in the league with a 79.2 Total QBR this season, but he goes on the road to face a Ravens defense that has allowed the lowest Total QBR in the league (44.2). The Ravens lead the league in defensive efficiency and are allowing an NFL-best 8.5 points per game at home.
  9. Derek Anderson gets his turn to try to wake the Bills' woeful offense against the Colts Sal Maiorana, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle If ever there was a condemnation of the state of the Buffalo Bills, it is the betting line on Sunday afternoon’s game in Indianapolis. Normally, I don’t pay any attention to the spread, but this one caught my eye. The Bills at 2-4 have a better record than Frank Reich’s 1-5 Colts, yet the home team is a 7.5-point favorite. That’s somewhat incredible because the wise guys in Las Vegas believe the Colts are 4.5 points better than Buffalo beyond the standard home team three-point margin that is typically built into the spread. Talk about a complete lack of respect for the Bills, but does anyone have a sound argument against that logic? The Colts rank 27th in the NFL in yards gained per offensive play despite the presence of star quarterback Andrew Luck, and on defense they rank 23rd in yards allowed and 30th in points allowed per game. This is not a very good team, with a roster devoid of top-end talent, so it speaks volumes about just how bad Buffalo’s offense is, from quarterback to receivers to offensive line, that Indianapolis is favored by this much. Here’s my preview of the game: Bills defense on a roll but will luck hold out against Andrew Luck and Colts? Leo Roth, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle ORCHARD PARK — If there is any doubt that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck’s surgically repaired throwing shoulder that sidelined him for all of 2017 is fully healed, just check out who is leading the NFL in pass attempts in 2018. Luck has thrown 288 passes, an average of 48 a game, during the Colts’ 1-5 start. He has completed 186, which also leads the league, and he is second in touchdown passes with 16. And yes, he leads the NFL in interceptions, too, with eight. Rookie head coach Frank Reich has given Luck the green light to play a bombs-away style to stay competitive, which the Colts have been. Luck's talent and that aggressive style from Reich, the architect of Great Football Comebacks, presents a major test for the Buffalo Bills(2-4) at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday. “They love to throw the ball and he’s doing a good job of it,’’ Bills safety Micah Hyde said of Luck. “Andrew has always been a decisive guy, always knows basically what the defense is doing on the snap, he does a good job of hard snaps and making the defense get lined up. It’s another tough challenge for us. At the end of the day it’s about making plays on the ball because he’s going to be throwing it.’’
  10. 10-19: Tyler Dunne on WGR (21:24) Dunne was on to talk about the Bills' QB situation, the possibility of trading McCoy, team needs for next season, and the 2018 rookie QB class.
  11. May they both be wrapped in White Linen.
  12. Inside the dynamic plays and schemes built by Shanahan and McVay Nick Wagoner ESPN Staff Writer SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- For four years with the Washington Redskins, Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay spent many long hours talking about and building the offensive scheme and philosophies that are now so prominent on the NFL landscape. Those conversations continued even after Shanahan left to become offensive coordinator in Cleveland and Atlanta and after McVay was promoted to replace Shanahan under Jay Gruden in Washington. Now, as the two youngest head coaches in the NFL, Shanahan and McVay find their talks -- at least when it comes to football -- a bit more limited. Such is life when you go from bright, young offensive assistants to the head coaches of the division rival San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams.
  13. 2018 NFL Offensive Line Rankings: All 32 teams' units after Week 6 | NFL Analysis | Pro Football Focus It’s that time of the week again. If you’ve been following the series, you know we highlighted the top performers on each offensive line a week ago. Now, it’s time to flip to the other side of the coin and discuss the weak links on each line so far this season. Let’s get to the rankings. 10. With a hodgepodge of backups rolling through up front in Indianapolis, the results have been surprisingly good. Joe Haeg gets the dubious distinction of lowest-graded qualifying offensive lineman, though, as he held up alright flip-flopping from left to right tackle in Weeks 1 and 2 before getting destroyed by Brandon Graham on the right side for six pressures in Week 3. 30. When you get benched for Russell Bodine, you know things have gone south. Ryan Groy was manhandled to 40.0 and 51.6 overall grades the first two weeks of the season at center before being replaced.
  14. 2018 Colts Preview: Colts/Bills, Week 7 INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts (1-5) host the Buffalo Bills (2-4) this Sunday in a rematch from last year’s Week 14 “Snow Bowl.” Both teams are dealing with some high-profile injuries that have them relying on the “next man up.” Let’s take a look at this week’s matchup.
