 This completely eliminated Buffalo from playoff contention and marked their tenth consecutive season without a playoff appearance.On the season ender, they "routed" the 14–1 Indianapolis Colts 30–7 to end the year at 6–10; however, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning was benched early due to this being a meaningless game for the playoff-bound Colts.Quarterback Trent Edwards battled injury throughout the whole season with his play regressing throughout the weeks, splitting games with back-up Ryan Fitzpatrick, formerly of the Cincinnati Bengals.
