Coming off a loss to the Detroit Lions, the Indianapolis Colts are clinging to their playoff hopes at 5-7 on the season and find themselves in what is essentially a must-win game against the New England Patriots.
At 3-9, the Patriots have obviously had their own struggles this season, but rookie quarterback Drake Maye has provided the team with some long-term optimism with his play--although there are still some ups and downs that he's navigating like any young player.
The Colts have played New England in each of the last three seasons, but as we all know, every year brings a different team.
