Show notes

On today's episode, Locked On Colts' Evan Sidery and Locked On Bills' Joe Marino join forces for a super wildcard weekend crossover special! We dive deep into Colts vs. Bills with great analysis from both sides.

Starting off in Buffalo, what has clicked for the Bills this season? Josh Allen has taken a massive leap, and looks to have the Bills in position to compete for titles long-term. Also, how big was the Stefon Diggs trade? The former Vikings receiver has fundamentally changed the Bills' offense into a juggernaut. Head coach Sean McDermott has built one helluva program in Buffalo, Is 2020 the crescendo moment?

Moving over to Indy, Evan explains why the Colts have flown so far under the radar even with an 11-5 record. The reason why might not be a benefit to Indy's season, honestly. What does Philip Rivers have left in the tank? After a very efficient season, expect Rivers back for another season as the Colts' QB1. Jonathan Taylor has taken the leap forward after a rough start. Is he the key to the Colts pulling off an upset on Saturday in Buffalo?

Show notes

Kenny Moore, Jonathan Taylor, Philip Rivers, and T.Y. Hilton all earned Evan's stars of the game, while the defense continues to be stingy versus the run thanks to DeForest Buckner + Grover Stewart. What changed after Moore's viral interception, which swung momentum all the way in Indy's favor?

Flipping it over to the Colts, how has Philip Rivers looked compared to Jacoby Brissett? Also, what has changed for Indy's defense after acquiring DeForest Buckner? Closing it out, we hit on two former Raiders who are faring well in Indy: Denico Autry and T.J. Carrie.

Colts put together most impressive outing of the season in 34-17 win over Titans Nov 13, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Evan goes solo to give his immediate opinions on the Colts' 34-17 victory over the Titans on Thursday Night Football. Indy outscored Tennessee 24-0 over the final 30-plus minutes with multiple players having fantastic outings.

The defense locked down Tennessee after a strong first few possessions, but the offense finding their footing was the big story. Philip Rivers was efficient and played turnover-free football, while Nyheim Hines and Michael Pittman Jr. broke all the way out. Hines notched two touchdowns, while MPJ looks like he could be Indy's WR1 the final few months of 2020.

EJ Speed's blocked punt swung the momentum all the way to Indy and put Tennessee in desperate situations late. The special teams continues to be a strong point for the Colts compared to last year's debacle with Adam Vinatieri.

This easily was the best the Colts have looked since their last primetime victory over Kansas City. Honestly, this might be an even more impressive outing. Watch out, because the Colts now are the AFC South division leaders.

Show notes

Tyler also gives Colts fans out there the blueprint to matching up against Tennessee's defense, which lacks constant pass rush right now.

Flipping over to Indy, can they pull of the upset? The offense has been so inconsistent, but they need a strong outing from the run game if they want any shot. Also, how has the defense taken the leap this season?

All of this, including our predictions, in a jam-packed crossover episode! Colts fans, you won't want to miss this one!
