Colts' Special Team vs Bills' Special Teams
The Bills have struggled
mightily this year on special teams. They have allowed at least one 40+ yard kick return
in each game they have played. Look for Steve Christie to keep high rather than deep this
week. The Bills' kick returner, Chris Watson, has fumbled twice in key situations and
averages only 17.7 yards per return. The Bills will line up Sunday with two return men
deep, Watson and Shawn Bryson, the teams' fastest player.
On the flip side, the
Colts have been the model of consistency on kick returns and coverage. With Terrence
Wilkins healthy and returning punts, the team also gains an added big play threat.
Without a doubt, the
Colts have a decisive advantage in this phase of the game.
