The New England Patriots put together a forgettable performance as an offense in Germany, failing to score a touchdown in a 10-6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
A missed field goal, stalling in the red zone and a pair of fourth-quarter interceptions tanked away opportunities for the Patriots to take a winnable game. The offense had nothing to offer, except for one area: the run game.
Outside of a few flashes through the first nine games entering Sunday, New England had struggled to consistently establish the run this season. With regressing quarterback play, offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien consistently found ways to run the ball against the Colts.
