Colts-Bills preview

Jared Dubin previews Colts-Bills, using TruMedia’s research platform to compare the Colts defense with the Bills offense:

“Buffalo's passing game is built to create explosive plays, which it did as well as any team in the league this season. Indianapolis' defense is explicitly built on the idea of limiting explosive plays in the passing game, which it did as well as any team in the league this season. So, what happens when the unstoppable force meets the immovable object?

There are a couple things that may actually be working in the Colts' favor here. The first is that the Colts are an extraordinarily zone-heavy team, and the Bills found their most passing success against man coverage. Indianapolis played zone on 77.7 percent of opponent dropbacks this season, per Pro Football Focus and TruMedia, one of the highest rates in the league.”
