Sunday, as the rain came down at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, so too did the loud, vibrant roars of nearly 72,000 Bills fans, silenced by the Indianapolis Colts’ finest performance of the season.
Even though the Colts were winners of four of their last five games and had climbed back to .500 for the first time all season, they still hadn’t shown the ability to beat an elite team through ten weeks.
That narrative changed Sunday.
The Colts came to play against the same team that, just ten months earlier, knocked them out of the playoffs and eliminated any chance at a deep run for the 2020 season.
