Analysis: Bills are facing a team very similar who has shown a stout 3rd Qtr defense and fades in the 4th & OT. The question in this game will be who finishes the 4th Quarter & OT if necessary. Protecting the lead in the 4th Qtr is something the Bills have failed to do twice (PIT & TEN), while the Bills gave up a tie vs (JAX). Last week was the only 4th Qtr the Bills were outscored that didn’t decide the game.
Interesting note: since week 5 the Colts haven’t been beat in regulation losing twice in OT to Baltimore & Tennessee, blowing leads in both games, similar to the Bills.
