The Buffalo Bills went on the road and won in controlling fashion, beating the Colts 30-20 in what was a fairly easy contest, especially in the second half. Already dealing with injuries to wide receivers Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman , the Bills saw tight end Dalton Kincaid leave with a knee injury.
Initially, Kincaid left the game and was in the blue medical tent for an extended period of time, emerging with a brace on his knee. It seemed as though he was going to give it a shot, but eventually, he left the game for good.
As Kincaid said after the game, he thought he was going to be okay, but then "didn't feel good enough to run and be able to go out there and protect myself."
Early in the game, Kincaid was open for a walk-in touchdown, but quarterback Josh Allen overthrew him. He was heavily involved early, with five targets before exiting the game.
Without Coleman, Cooper, and Kincaid, the Bills offense still managed to look very serviceable. Credit to offensive coordinator Joe Brady for calling a good a game, and for players like Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel for stepping up into big roles. Hollins led the team in receiving yards with 86, and Samuel was second in the team in targets with eight.
"That's a good football team that's coming in, an undefeated football team, and a well coached one. We have a ton of respect for them, so we've got to see if we can get a little bit healthy here, and put the week of preparation in and move forward from there."
The injuries on the offense will need to get sorted out, with the extent of Kincaid's injury not likely being known for another day or two. Hopefully he, as well as the two missing receivers, are able to to give it a go against Kansas City. If not, they'll have the benefit of the bye week the following week to rest up for the playoff push.
