INDIANAPOLIS — It's time to take a look at the unofficial snap counts from Sunday's 2018 Week 7 matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the Buffalo Bills.
By dominating the second quarter and eventually jumping out to a 24-0 lead going into halftime, the Colts (2-5) were able to snap a four-game losing streak on Sunday, pummeling the Bills, 37-5, at Lucas Oil Stadium. It was one of those games in which the offense was able to dictate things on its end against what has been a very solid Buffalo (2-5) defense, while the Indy defense was opportunistic all day long, forcing five turnovers — three via interceptions, and two via forced fumbles/recoveries.
Now the hope for the Colts is that they can keep the momentum going into next Sunday, when they travel to take on the Oakland Raiders at Oakland Alameda Coliseum. A win in that matchup could do wonders for an Indianapolis team that would feel much better heading into its bye week at 3-5 and still within reach of getting back into the AFC South Division picture. The Raiders will enter the matchup with a 1-5 record, and will be coming off their own bye week.
But before we completely move on to that Colts-Raiders matchup, let's take a look at the Week 7 participation, courtesy of the NFL GSIS (Game Statistics & Information) folks:
