Bleacher Report: Bills hang on inside the Top 10 after Colts’ loss

Current Week’s Ranking: 8

Last Week’s Ranking: 6

Similar to NFL.com, the Buffalo Bills ranked in the bottom half of the Top 10 and dropped only two spots in the power rankings on Bleacher Report after the Colts’ loss.

"In Week 11, the Bills were on the receiving end of a pounding. And thanks to their blowout loss at home against the Indianapolis Colts, Buffalo fell out of first place in the AFC East. Colts running back Jonathan Taylor gouged the Bills for over 200 total yards and five touchdowns. The Bills had almost as many turnovers (four) as they did third-down conversions (five)."

One theme over the past three weeks has been turnovers and this has particularly been an issue for Josh Allen. The quarterback had two interceptions against the Colts and five over the past three games.

Buffalo can’t afford to have Allen continue to turn the ball over because it takes points off the board and usually puts the defense in bad positions. This will likely be a point of emphasis for the coaching staff in this short week of preparation.
