The Buffalo Bills head to Indianapolis in Week 10 looking to continue their winning ways against the Colts.
series is dedicated to breaking down how the Buffalo Bills match up with their opponent in every game of the 2024 NFL season. This series will look at five key matchups: Bills Pass Offense vs. Opponent Pass Defense, Bills Rush Offense vs. Opponent Rush Defense, Bills Pass Defense vs. Opponent Pass Offense, Bills Rush Defense vs. Opponent Rush Offense, and Bills Special Teams vs. Opponent Special Teams.
The next step in assuring that takes place this Sunday in a matchup with the Colts in Indianapolis. This is a Colts team that remains very much in the playoff picture but has plenty of questions to answer if they expect to be a true contender. Among those questions is whether their second level can slow down opposing passing offenses, something they have struggled with to this point in the season.
The most tenuous aspect of Buffalo’s rushing attack, especially on interior runs, is caused by the advantage that Indianapolis has in the front center of their defense. The aforementioned DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart are amongst the league’s best interior pairs. Buckner with length and Stewart with size make interior runs near impossible as each is not only capable of gaining penetration, but also soaking up multiple blockers.
Of all of those defensive tackles, Buffalo will need at least one to excel this week, otherwise the Colts' path to victory will become much clearer. Indy can run the ball, and against a team like the Bills that has struggled to defend the run, will run the ball early and often. Their bellcow is Jonathan Taylor who is averaging 4.8 yards per attempt and 83.7 yards per game as he is well on his way to a 1,000-yard season.
