‘I wasn’t enamored with Joe Brady’s play-calling in the first half, but he got more in line in the second half. Same for Bobby Babich who had a few challenging moments in the first half, but dialed up a great plan in the second as the Bills limited the Colts to a garbage time TD with two seconds remaining.’

Bills-Colts takeaways: Taron Johnson lifts Buffalo to road win for 8th victory
‘Johnson was the best player on the field and gave the Bills a charge in the first quarter after a Bills punt to open the game. Colts quarterback Joe Flacco threw the first of three interceptions on the day to Johnson, who got turned around quickly before recovering and running backward to jump in front of a Flacco changeup. Johnson then started to run it back before waiting for a few blocks to develop. He followed the blockers for a touchdown to give the Bills an early lead.’
Bills haven’t lost since Taron Johnson returned: How he set the tone in win over Colts
‘Johnson became the first Bills defensive player to record an interception for a touchdown and a sack in the same game. The interception was impressive, but Johnson’s immediate understanding of where he was on the field to quickly push for the end zone turned the play into a spectacular highlight.’

Five Takeaways: Bills create 4 turnovers, use formidable first-half drive to surge past Colts and earn 5th straight win

Sabato: Resilient Bills roll past Colts to set up measuring-stick game with unbeaten Chiefs
‘This is nowhere near coach Sean McDermott’s most talented team, but it may be his most resilient. A team thought to be in rebuilding mode is now 8-2 for the first time since 1993, set to embark on a four-game stretch that could reveal just how good they are.’

The bizarre reason why Bills’ Mack Hollins was late for team meeting
‘The Buffalo Bills receiver was late to a team meeting because he didn’t want to take the elevator, and preferred walking. So the long trudge to the meeting cost him being on time.’
Dalton Kincaid injury update: Bills TE injures knee vs Colts

Allen runs for TD and Bills force 4 turnovers by Flacco to win 5th straight, 30-20 over Colts
‘“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.’
