Re: New Buffalo Bills Page
Barely defeating the Colts, Bills win 17-9 in the snow.
Bills Advance To AFC Championship Game
"Whew, barely got out of there [laughs] but listen, we're not going to win any games at this stage of the season playing the way we played, we have to correct our mistakes, and take advantages of the opportunities given to us... give credit to the Indianapolis Colts, they were there, they came to play, and like we've been able to do all season, we found a way to win, but we have to play better next week, which I'm sure we will, " Head Coach d11king said.
Usually we follow this with a statistic from Aaron Corp, a quarterback who strives on efficiency, but he had the worst game of his career, statistically, completing 10 of 27 passes for 157 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT. The Bills best possession came in the 1st quarter where they pieced together a balance attack, and found Pro-Bowl rookie fullback Brad Smelley for a 4 yard TD pass . The following possessions, Corp would miss open receivers, repeated dropped interceptions by the Colts defenders would prove to make an impact, and though the Bills tried running the ball to keep the defense honest, they weren't able to break any big runs.
The defense, which now calls themselves, the "B Fighters" were able to hold the Colts to just field goals, a trait the Bills have excelled in this season. The game ultimately would be decided when Andrew Luck threw his 3rd interception (7th this year against the Bills) which ended up being a pick-6 by SS Reshad Jones. Mario Williams, was able to record 3 QB tackles, 2 of them coming in clutch moments of the game. In a game where the Bills were outgained in almost every facet offensively, the game was a defensive battle as acknowledged by both coaches, the game ultimately came down to turnovers (and red zone defense), the Colts dropped numerous interceptions... the Bills did not.
"It was a fun game to be apart of honestly, Coach didn't seem to happy about our performance and rightfully so, we could've easily been talking about a season recap... but this is the playoffs, you're going to be playing the best every week, so you may have some good games, you may have some bad ones. Luckily for us, we had a bad game but still came away with the victory,DE Mario Williams said.
Player of the Game:
DE Mario Williams (3 tck, 3 QBtck)
