The Patriots’ bye week is near, but they have one more game ahead of their week off.
New England hosts the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at 1 p.m. Sunday’s matchup with the Colts might be the 3-9 Patriots’ best chance to get another win before the season is over. The Colts are 5-7 and after Sunday’s game, the Patriots’ next four opponents are teams who have a winning record entering Week 13.
The Patriots could certainly use a win, too. They’ve lost their last two games, including a 34-15 blowout at the Dolphins last week. That loss, along with the loss to the Rams the week prior, has seemingly caused more pessimism surrounding the state of the team despite Drake Maye’s encouraging play.
