INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts host the Buffalo Bills during Week 10 of the NFL season.

Colts QB Joe Flacco will make his second straight start for Indianapolis when the Buffalo Bills come to town Sunday, and they're hoping the 39-year-old quarterback can end a two-game losing streak. 

Indy fought its way back into the playoff picture by winning four of five after starting the season 0-2. But the Colts have since lost two games and now face one of the league's hottest teams. 

Buffalo has won four straight since losing back-to-back games. But the Bills are just 3-2 on the road this season.

Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Keep it here all game long for live updates as they happen.
