The Buffalo Bills were beaten up badly by the Indianapolis Colts and running back Jonathan Taylor in Week 11. It was a 45-15 final score in favor of the Colts (6-5).
In the loss, the Bills (6-4) were run all over and couldn’t stop Taylor. But the pain didn’t stop there. Buffalo is no longer in first place in the AFC East after the defeat.
Many took notice of both Taylor and the division-leading New England Patriots on Sunday.
With that, here’s a national media rundown of reactions to the Bills’ loss to the Colts.

Jonathan Taylor is the MVP.
Everybody else needs to just understand that.

I can’t believe this is true… but it appears we are less than 2 hours away from the effing New England Patriots being in 1st in the AFC East.
The Bills should be ashamed of themselves for letting this happen.

Don’t look now but if the Bills can’t mount a 17-point second-half comeback at home against the Colts, your AFC East leader through 11 weeks would be…the @Patriots

Bills are really talented but this roller coaster act makes you appreciate the Patriots two dynasties. Got mostly the same team every Sunday. Mostly won. Lost competitively. Efficiency rarely abandoned them.

This better be a wake up call for my @BuffaloBills. We lost the line of scrimmage today on both sides of the ball. Better to learn this lesson now then in January. #INDvsBUF
