Colts' Kwity Paye: Nabs sack in second straight week
Rotowire
Paye recorded a sack and a forced fumble Sunday in the Colts' 41-15 win over the Bills.
For the second week in a row, Paye got to the quarterback after previously going without a sack in his first seven NFL appearances. The forced fumble was also the first of the rookie first-round pick's career. Though Buffalo recovered the loose ball, Paye's strip sack of Josh Allen resulted in a 12-yard loss and created a challenging field-goal attempt for Bills kicker Tyler Bass, whose 57-yarder hit the right upright and allowed the Colts to take a 17-point lead into halftime.

Paye will start at defense end opposite Al-Quadin Muhammad for the season-opening matchup against Seattle, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
The 2021 first-round draft pick had an impressive preseason with two sacks. He won the starting nod over Tyquan Lewis, but both should get significant snaps.
