1. A couple thoughts on the Colts' net-zero turnover differential this season.

The Colts on Sunday turned the ball over four times – quarterback Joe Flacco threw three interceptions and lost a fumble – and generated two takeaways, with linebacker E.J. Speed and cornerback Kenny Moore II each intercepting Bills quarterback Josh Allen. With those giveaways and takeaways, the Colts now have an even turnover differential this season: 17 giveaways (12 interceptions, five lost fumbles) and 17 takeaways (eight interceptions, nine fumble recoveries).

A few things here. First: The 12 interceptions thrown by Flacco and Anthony Richardson are tied with the Carolina Panthers for the most in the NFL; the nine fumble recoveries the Colts have are also tied for the most in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers.

The Colts are one of three teams to be top 10 in takeaways (17, sixth) and bottom 10 in giveaways (17, T-29th along with the Packers and Minnesota Vikings.

A larger thought here is how if the Colts are able to avoid turnovers on offense – they have eight in the last three weeks – and their defense continues generating takeaways, there's a path here. While the Colts are 4-6, they're still just one game behind the 5-5 Denver Broncos for the final AFC wild card spot; the Colts and Broncos square off in Denver in Week 15.

"We turned the ball over and it's hard to win when you lose the turnover battle," head coach Shane Steichen said. "So, we haven't done a good job of that and that's going to be a big point of emphasis going forward. We talk about it every week, preach it, but we've got to do better at it for sure."

2. Jonathan Taylor moved up the Colts' all-time leaderboard.

Taylor carried 21 times for 114 yards, a little over half of which came on a 59-yard run in the first quarter. It was a boom-or-bust day for the Colts' run game – seven of Taylor's carries were stopped for a loss or no gain, but he had three runs for 10 or more yards.

Still, Taylor's 114 yards vaulted him over Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson into fourth in Colts history with 5,198 rushing yards. Taylor needs just 33 more yards to pash Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk for the third-most rushing yards in Colts history; he's only 190 yards away from moving into second ahead of Lydell Mitchell, who starred for the Baltimore Colts from 1972-1977. Taylor is still over 4,000 yards away from catching Hall of Famer Edgerrin James (9,226 rushing yards) for the franchise record.

One other notable thing here – Taylor now has 20 games with over 100 rushing yards in his five-year career, behind only Derrick Henry, who has 33 triple-digit games with the Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens since 2020.

3. Matt Goncalves stepped in for Bernhard Raimann again at left tackle.

Raimann exited Sunday's game early in the first quarter with a knee injury and did not return, with Goncalves – the Colts' 2024 third-round pick – tagging in for 51 snaps at left tackle. Goncalves played 54 snaps in place of Raimann (concussion) in the Colts' Week 9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

The Colts were already starting two other rookies – left guard Dalton Tucker and center Tanor Bortolini – on Sunday, meaning Raimann's exit left just left guard Quenton Nelson and right tackle Braden Smith as the lone veterans on the Colts' offensive line.

We'll learn in the coming days if Raimann will miss time with his knee injury, but Nelson on Monday said he was pleased with how Goncalves competed in his second extended opportunity this year. Nelson specifically pointed to Goncalves getting reps in practice at four positions – both tackle spots and both guard spots – ahead of Sunday's game.

"He's done a good job," Nelson said. "... He's done some good things in the run and pass. There's stuff that he needs to improve at, there's still I need to improve at, all of us do. And the thing I know with him is he's doing to work at that to improve it, because he cares a lot about this football team, his teammates, and he has personal pride in his work."

4. Josh Allen's passer rating against the Colts was low, again.

Allen was able to make an impact with his legs, rushing for five first downs and a touchdown on eight attempts, but the Colts largely limited the perennial MVP candidate through the air.

Allen finished Week 10 with a passer rating of 60.6, which stands as his 12th-lowest in a single game in his career; that 60.6 passer rating is the seventh-lowest he's had since the end of his rookie season.

In two regular season games against the Colts, Allen now is 43 of 72 (59.7 percent) for 489 yards with two touchdowns, four interceptions and a passer rating of 66.3. The only teams he has a worse passer rating against in his career are the Green Bay Packers (two games, 53.0) and Atlanta Falcons (one game, 17.0).

5. Some numbers on the Colts' tackle totals.

Linebacker Zaire Franklin's nine tackles pushed his season total to 105, making him the first player to cross the century mark in tackles in 2024. He's also on the same team as the NFL's second-leading tackler: Safety Nick Cross, who has 98; linebacker E.J. Speed has 88, eighth-most.

Back to Franklin, though. Since joining the Colts' starting lineup to begin the 2022 season, Franklin has 451 tackles over 43 games – the most in a 43-game span in Colts history. Only three players since tackles became an official statistic in 1987 have had more tackles over a 43-game span than Franklin: Zach Thomas, Foyesade Oluokun and Ray Lewis.
