LeSean McCoy plows through the snow for the Bills game-winning TD in OT

The Colts sent their matchup with the Bills to overtime. It took the Bills three big plays in overtime to get a 13-7 win.

Tyrod Taylor was a game-time decision for the Bills, and he wasn’t able to take the field on Sunday. He was sidelined with the knee contusion he suffered in Week 13. Nathan Peterman started in his place, but he left the game with a head injury. He was replaced by Joe Webb.

Webb went 2 of 6 for 35 yards and a pick, but he came through in overtime. At the two-minute warning, Webb hit Deonte Thompson with a dime for a 34-yard gain.

That put the Bills on the Colts 27-yard line. A 9-yard LeSean McCoy run kept the Bills moving right on into the red zone.

On second-and-1 from the Colts 18-yard line, McCoy lost a yard. But given the snowy conditions, it only made sense for the Bills to go to McCoy once more. A 21-yard McCoy run on third down got the Bills into the end zone for the win.

It was a big day for McCoy overall. He finished with 156 yards and a touchdown on 32 carries. The Colts relied heavily on their run game, too. Frank Gore carried the ball 36 times for 130 yards. They had to, as Jacoby Brissett was only able to complete half of his 22 passes for 69 yards and one touchdown to tight end Jack Doyle.

The grounds crew tried to keep the field clear, but the snow was too heavy. These were not ideal weather conditions for an NFL game.

It was difficult for both teams. Even the generally reliable Adam Vinatieri missed a field goal by a huge margin thanks to the winter weather.

The Bills improve to 7-6 with the win and remain just out of wild-card position in the AFC playoff hunt.
