The Indianapolis Colts (5-7) and New England Patriots (3-9) are far removed from the days of being the NFL's heavyweights, but this game still means everything to the current edition of the visiting Colts as they fight for their playoff lives on Sunday at Gillette Stadium.
While two games below .500, the Colts are still somehow in the postseason hunt as they sit two games behind the Denver Broncos (7-5) for the AFC's final playoff spot, who they play in two weeks.
