INDIANAPOLIS – It was stated that the Patriots would lose one of their last four games, and it might be a good thing if they did.
The Patriots accomplished the first thing, losing 27-17 to the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Stadium. They watched their seven-game win streak go down the drain as they lost their first game to the Colts since Fourth and Two in 2009. As for it being a “good thing”, that remains to be seen.
The Patriots surrendered the one seed to Kansas City when the Chiefs beat the Chargers on Thursday night.
