The Buffalo Bills (7-2) are headed to Indianapolis to face a Colts team (4-5) that’s struggling to figure out what to do at quarterback.
Despite Sunday’s win against the Dolphins, the Bills continue sit at No. 3 in the latest power rankings. But it’s still early.
Here’s what NFL power ranking experts are saying about Sunday’s 1 p.m. game at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Bills’ average rank this week: 3 (last week: 3.36)

Bills ranking: 3 (No change)
Colts ranking: 22 (⬇ one spot)
Bills: The Bills are digging deep to use all their key weapons around Josh Allen. They need to keep leaning on their loaded offense to offset their massive problems in stopping running backs in any which way.
Colts: The Colts made a hasty decision to sit Anthony Richardson because they need to be a run-heavy team with him and Jonathan Taylor to be most complementary to the defense. Joe Flacco’s chuck-and-duck routine isn’t right for this team.
