Week 11: Indianapolis Colts

The final game is another AFC opponent, and another team the Buffalo Bills saw in the playoffs last year in the Indianapolis Colts. The Bills beat the Colts in the AFC Wild Card game and it was their first playoff win since the 1995 season.

This year the Colts are going to look slightly different as they made a change at quarterback with Philip Rivers retiring. The team traded for Carson Wentz and the hope is that he can return to the quarterback he was earlier in his career.

For the Buffalo Bills, this is an important game for similar reasons to the other two games as this could play a major role in seeding within the AFC for playoffs or for tiebreakers. Another reason this is a must win is that this game starts a tough four game stretch and a win here would be a major boost.

After this game, the Bills travel to New Orleans to play the Saints on Thanksgiving, followed by a Monday Night Football showdown with the New England Patriots. They end this four-game stretch with a road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If they are able to start it off with a win, that would be a big boost over this stretch.
