INDIANAPOLIS – Eight. Twelve. Thirteen.
What's so significant about those numbers?
The Indianapolis Colts are currently on an eight-game losing streak to the New England Patriots that has stretched over 12 years, during which time they've had 13 different quarterbacks attempt a pass in an NFL game, since they last beat them in 2009.
The Colts will attempt to end that losing streak to the Patriots, which includes two losses in the playoffs, when the two teams meet Saturday night at Lucas Oil Stadium (8:15 ET, NFL Network).
The stakes for this game are the highest it’s been since the Patriots beat the Colts in back-to-back playoffs in 2013 and 2014.
