The NFL’s Week 10 Sunday slate dawned with the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots squaring off in Frankfurt, Germany, in the fifth and final installment of the league’s 2023 International Series docket.
And while it was hardly a shock that the Colts won, a 10-6 triumph at Deutsche Bank Park that put yet another torpedo into the Patriots’ apparently lost season was still a rather jarring watch. And it seems like there could be significant fallout for both clubs as they head back across the Atlantic Ocean and into their Week 11 byes.
Sunday morning’s winners and losers, Deutschland style:

Colts
They leveled their record at 5-5, moving into ninth place overall in the AFC – for now – and one game behind the trifecta of 5-3 AFC North teams that currently occupy the conference’s three wild-card spots.
