‘First of all, this Bills team has avoided the dumb losses that have plagued the last few seasons. There are no London meltdowns. No Mac Jones winning drives. No Zach Wilson losses. No fumbled snaps on the one yard line. No special teams blunders. No Hail Mary’s (in the fourth quarter). No heat games. No wind games. No 9-6 debacles against a two-win team.’

How do the Buffalo Bills win in Indianapolis? 4 keys to a victory over the Colts

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.’
